TECHNOLOGY
COLD METAL TRANSFER
With the CMT process, Fronius provides users with a highly dynamic welding
process with the most stable arc in the world and minimal welding spatters.
CMT is also no longer just “cold” but rather allows continuous regulation of
heat input from cold to hot. This results in higher welding speeds and a
broader range of applications with maximum welding quality.
18
TPS/i CMT PROCESS BENEFITS
/ Highly dynamic wire control
/ Extremely stable arc
/ Wider process window – up to the end
of the intermediate arc
/ World’s most stable process with
minimal spattering (up to 200 cm/min)
19
Fronius International GmbH / TPS/i CMT Robotics / Fall 2016 / v_01
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
/ Faster welding
/ Minimal spatters
/ More cost effective
/ Extremely simple parameter

AREAS OF APPLICATION
/ Joint welding (tailpipe industry, food industry)
/ Overlay welding
/ Brazing work – specifically with high demands in terms of heat input and process stability
/ Special joints, e.g., copper, zinc, steel aluminum, titanium
APPLICATIONS
/ Thin and medium sheet range 0.5 mm – 4 mm
/ Steel 100% CO2 welding
/ CrNi applications Galvanized steel applications
/ Root passes

APPLICATION
... for Perfect Welding Results
22
CMT APPLICATION EXAMPLE
/ Flange/flexible pipe connection
/ Sheet thickness of flange 8–10 mm/pipe 1 mm – lap joint
/ Requires an almost spatter-free result (spatters could damage the
catalytic converter)
23
Fronius International GmbH / TPS/i CMT Robotics / Fall 2016 / v_01
FLANGE / FLEXIDER APPLICATION
Base material: ferritic chrome steel
Sheet thickness: 10mm (flange) / 1mm (pipe)
Filler material: Cr Ni 19 12 3 Ø: 1mm
Gas: Ar+2,5% CO2
VS: 150 cm/min
VD: 12,7 m/min
Current: 208 A
Voltage: 18,4 V
Synergic line: CMT 3268
Task: almost spatter-free welding result necessary;
if a spatter detaches this could damage the catalytic
converter; very stable arc; high welding speed
24
CMT APPLICATION EXAMPLE
/ Application: tailpipe trim
/ Sheet thickness of tailpipe 1 mm/trim <1 mm – lap joint
/ Challenge thin sheet thickness; gap-bridging ability
25
Fronius International GmbH / TPS/i CMT Robotics / Fall 2016 / v_01
TAIL PIECE / EXHAUST PIPE APPLICATION
Base material: ferritic chrome steel
Sheet thickness: 1mm (exhaust) / <1mm (tail piece)
Filler material: Cr Ni 19 12 3 Ø: 1mm
Gas: Ar+2,5% CO2
VS: 130 cm/min
VD: 11,5 m/min
Current: 180 A
Voltage: 17,0 V
Synergic line: CMT 3268
Task: low material thicknesses; tail piece gets bended and slided
Over the exhaust pipe; due to the bending the thickness
decreases and roundness is not given gap bridge ability
26
APPLICATION EXAMPLE
Gutter:
Base material: Aluminium
Sheet thickness: 1,0 - 2,5 mm
Driveshaft:
Base material: Aluminium
Sheet thickness: 6,1 – 10,0mm
27
APPLICATION EXAMPLE
Catalyst:
Base material: CrNi Stahl
Sheet thickness: 1,0 – 2,5 mm
Tube to plate welding:
Base material: CrNi Stahl
Sheet thickness: <1,0 mm
