Partnering with Miller and Hobart Brothers gives you
decades of global experience a history that includes
pipeline construction in some of the harshest and most
remote environments on Earth.
High-strength materials like API 5L Grades X70 to X100 are designed to expedite
pipe lay time, reduce costs and simplify transport. Whether its building across desert
terrain, up the side of a mountain or through the frigid tundra, high-strength steel offers
a history of quality, safety and proven results.
Excellent strength properties provide greater carrying capacity, along with the ability
to withstand increased pressure tolerances.
The ability to withstand temperature extremes, thermal expansion and contraction,
frost and other environmental loadings for global construction.
Thinner wall thicknessesthat require less time to weld, less filler metals to
complete passes and lower costs for transporting materials to jobsites.
Lower cost per footcompared to lower-strength steels.
As high-strength steels become more prevalent in the global pipeline market, matching
the proper filler metals, welding processes and heat treatment to the pipe can ensure
the highest level of integrity, quality and productivity in pipeline construction.
Meeting the Challenges of High-Strength Pipeline Integrity
Our world is growing
and changing. An
increasingly urbanized
population poised to
reach 9 billion by 2050
is driving demand for
new energy sources
and innovation in energy-
based construction and
infrastructure. We can
help you meet those

Addressing the challenges of welding high-strength steels
High-strength steels require special attention to maintain their integrity throughout the
welding process. Key to achieving that goal is minimizing the opportunity for hydrogen-
induced cracking.
High-strength steels also require:
Filler metalsto match the various alloying strategies for high-strength steels and
meet the necessary impact properties.
New welding systemswith innovative processes to optimize the weld performance
and durable designs to meet the rugged requirements of pipeline construction.
Tightly-controlled pre-heat temperaturesof the root pass and interpasstemperatures for the fill and cap passes.
Together, Miller and Hobart Brothers have developed proven innovative solutions to
address these needs. From welding equipment and filler metals tailored to high-
strength steels, to induction heating designed to control pre-heating, interpass
temperatures and post-weld stress relief, our technologies work together to reduce the
risk of hydrogen-induced cracking and ensure you achieve the highest quality welds.
Ask our global network of welding professionals to help you place the
most reliable welding and heating systems for this demanding application
in the hands of your team.

Maintaining the quality and safety of the pipeline is absolutely critical. Our
metal-cored wires and the Regulated Metal Deposition (RMD) process for root
passes, combined with induction heating, ensure the consistency and quality
you need.
Before you even strike an arc, induction heating can help drive out moisture and
minimize hydrogen in the weld joint. The process minimizes the opportunity for
cracking by slowing the cooling rate, allowing hydrogen to diffuse, and offsetting
thermal shock.
Adding to those pre-weld advantages, metal-cored wire and the RMD processfurther improve the integrity of the root pass by providing consistent and reliable
root reinforcement. The technologies also provide:
An exceptionally stable arc and calm weld puddle both of which help
improve weld quality and consistency, and reduce the opportunity for defects
like lack of fusion.
Greater toleranceof code-allowable high-low misalignment.
A fast-freezing puddlethat can bridge gaps up to 5 mm (3/16 inch) and
provide a root pass with a throat between 3 to 5 mm (1/8 to 3/16 inch) thick
(for .045-inch wire).
A weld bead with little or no spatterthat typically does not require interpass
grinding or cleaning due to the lack of slag in the process. A consistent arc length, even at varying wire stick-out, to simplify training.
Greater deposition efficiencycompared to cellulosic Stick electrodes.

The alloy in high-strength steels, combined with the high hydrogen levels that
cellulosic Stick electrodes produce, makes welds more prone to hydrogen-
induced cracking. Shifting from Stick welding (SMAW) to Self-Shielded Flux-Cored
welding (FCAW-S) for fill and cap passes reduces hydrogen content, helps ensure
weld integrity and offers substantial benefits to the welding process:
Easily welds API 5L Grades X70 up to X100:qualified and currently used in
high-strength steel applications around the globe.
Lower hydrogen content to reduce cracking:Self-shielded ux-cored wires
feature less than 8 ml of diffusible hydrogen per 100 g of weldment (compared
to greater than 16 ml per 100 g for cellulosic Stick electrodes).
Excellent impact properties:To combat the environmental extremes high-
strength pipelines are subjected to, self-shielded ux-cored wires feature
excellent Charpy V-Notch (CVN) impact values at temperatures as low as
-40 degrees Fahrenheit/Celsius.
Increases in speed and deposition efficiency:Self-Shielded
Flux-Cored welding provides faster travel speeds more pounds per hour
and offers greater filler metal deposition efficiency compared to welding with
cellulosic Stick electrodes. In short, your operators will use less filler metal to
do the same job and do it in less time.
Better arc control:Excellent arc quality and dual schedule capabilities give
the welding operator better control over the welding arc, even in difficultpositions toward the bottom of the pipe (4 to 6 oclock).
Eliminates shielding gas: Process eliminates the need for a shielding gas,
reducing the cost, transportation and storage of gas bottles.

Pre- and post-weld heat treatment is a critical requirement in eliminating
hydrogen-induced cracking in high-strength steels. Whether on the mainline, on
tie-ins or at compressor/pumping stations, induction heating provides superior
preheating and stress relief that is more effective, faster, more versatile and
extremely safe compared to other methods. The induction heating process:
Drives and keeps moisture out of the weldto
prevent hydrogen-induced cracking. This is a particular
improvement over heating with a torch/rosebud, which
actually introduces water vapor into the weld joint.
Heats uniformlyto prevent localized hot and cold
spots that can affect weld integrity and offers real-time
thermocouple feedback, along with tighter control over
welding interpass temperaturesto ensure heating
consistency.
Reduces the potential for damageand the associated
repair time to surrounding parts/components/coatings
by limiting heat to the targeted area.
Improves safety by eliminating open flames and exposed
heating elements.
Improves safetyin confined spaces, as induction heating does not burn
oxygen like heating with a torch or rosebud, which can lead to insufficientbreathable air for the worker.
Provides faster time-to-temperaturethan other heating methods, increasing
productivity.
Allows equipment and accessories to be carried on the same tractor or sled
as the welding power sources for improved portability and accessibility.
Eliminates heating gas purchase, storage and transport lowering costs
over time and improving site logistics.
Optional digital recorder stores temperature data for quantifiable verification
of critical preheating and stress-relieving temperatures.

Post-Weld Heat with Induction Heating

hi-lo conditions, reducing training requirements. Weld bead profiles are thicker
than conventional root pass welds which can eliminate the need for a hot pass,improving weld productivity. In some stainless steel applications, it may be
possible to eliminate the backing (purge) gas to further improve productivity
and reduce welding costs.

IMPROVED!SuitCase X-TREME 8VSwith optional meters
SuitCase X-TREME 12VS
SuitCaseX-TREME8VS&12VSQuick
Specs
Portable wire feeding at its best.
The SuitCase X-TREME 8VS and 12VS provide wire feed speed that is accurate and consistentfrom the start of the weld to the finish, and from one weld to the next. Consistent wire feedspeed is very important with large-diameter cored wire, because small changes in wire feedspeed make large changes in deposition rates.
Wire drive with tachometercontrol improves weldfeed speed accuracy andconsistency to make it easierto produce quality welds.
Plastic case design, pottedPC board and double-filteredgas valve ensure SuitCasewithstands the harshestindustrial environments.

Digital meters with SunVision technologycan display voltage and wire speed, andalso amperage if desired. Meters canbe seen clearly even in direct sunlight.
(8VS: Meters optional).
Front panel has trigger hold, wire jog,and gas purge all located on front panel.
Polypropylene case with built-in sliderails and the ability to open the door tochange wire with feeder in vertical position.
SuitCaseX-TREME
Features
Gas inlet recessed into back of case isprotected from incidental contact by the weldcable, ensuring consistent and contaminant-free shielding gas delivery to the gun.Double-filtered gas valve helps keep dirtfrom clogging and affecting gas flow.
Potted and trayed main printed circuitboard for the harshest environments addsexceptional reliability. Board has full-triggerisolation so a shorted gun trigger will notaffect feeder operation.
Electronic wire feed speed control withintegrated tachometer ensures wire feed speedaccuracy that rivals the best benchtop feeders.
Wire speed dual schedule reduces wire
speed to 87.5 percent of standard speed.Requires a dual schedule gun or dualschedule switch (sold separately).
Ultra-low drag inlet guide pinsmake loading the wire easy anddoes not deform the wire on the wayinto the drive rolls. Simply threadthe wire through the pins and intodrive rolls. There are two ways toadvance the wire through the driveroll and into the gun. Either openthe pressure arm and thread thewire into the grooves in the driveroll and on into the gun inlet orplace the wire between the pins and
use the jog/purge switch to advancethe wire through the drive roll.
Gun locking tab works with guns havingcorresponding locking grooves to prevent gunfrom being pulled out if the feeder is dragged bythe gun.
Scaled wire pressure knob provideseasy adjustment and consistentpressure on the drive rolls and wire.Wire drive and motor assembly isspecifically designed for mobilewelding applications to providesmooth and consistent wire delivery.Improved motor torque and drive rollsystem are designed to feed small-diameter solid wire (.023 inch) tolarge-diameter cored wire (5/64 inch).

Rigorous Testing for Tough,
Real-World ConditionsTo prove our machines go to thelimit, Miller industrial engine drivesare put to the test in very extremeenvironmental conditions.
Airborne dust and sand.Critical components are exposedto abusive airborne particles in aspecial testing chamber for weeks,helping make sure theyll operatewhile facing extreme levels of dirt,dust or sand on the jobsite.
Humidity and corrosion.Inside our Houston testing room,critical components are subjectedto extended moisture and corrosive
salt exposure to ensure theyll run even when exposed to humidclimates, corrosive coastal environments, and driving rain.
Temperature extremes. Miller industrial engine drives are testedto ensure performance in scorching heat. All Miller engine-drivenmachines are weld rated at 104 degrees Fahrenheit, but actual tests areconducted up to 122 degrees Fahrenheit to assure peak performance.
Jobsite/over-the-road abuse. Miller industrial engine drives areshaken for hours on transportation bed simulators, subjected to severevibration, and test-dropped and jerked to ensure theyll withstand thestresses that can shut down competitive machines.
Continuous operation. Miller industrial engine drives run day andnight, in all weather conditions, to assure theyll perform withoutinterruption in the field.
Superior Circuit Board DesignOur critical circuit boards are engineered to carry low powerand lowheatto reduce thermal stress and minimize expansion and contraction.In contrast, our competitors boards carry high powerand high heat,
making them more vulnerable to failure.
What Makes Miller
Industrial Engine Drives So ?
The Vault Makes Upgrading to Miller CC/CV
Units Worry-FreeConcerns with circuit board reliability have resulted in some operatorssteering clear of CC/CV welder/generators even though they offer asuperior arc and multiple welding processes. Miller circuit boardreliability isnt a concern since all Big Blue multiprocess industrial enginedrives feature the Vault.
Created out of two aluminum halves sealed with silicone, as well aswatertight harness connections, the Vault provides a clean circuit board
environment, protecting the electronicsand controlling outputin heavy industrial applications. No other competitor protects theirelectronics with a sealed vault, leaving critical circuit boards exposed toharsh elements that can disrupt the machines electronics, and therefore,its operation.
