Böhler Welding TERRA NX 400 TLH DC TIG Welding Machine

Description

High-current DC TIG with four Böhler processes

The Böhler Welding TERRA NX 400 TLH is a three-phase inverter machine for TIG DC welding with high-frequency ignition. Böhler Welding highlights a fully digital control panel with LED display, four proprietary TIG DC processes, DcDrive, DcPulse, FastPulse and EasyArc, and high welding power. The adjustment range is 3 to 400 A, which suits thick-wall pipe, boiler and pressure-vessel root and fill work where a high duty cycle matters.

The main TIG functions named in the sheet are Easy Joining, Spot Welding and Pulse Slope. Air-cooled and liquid-cooled TIG torches in the ST series are listed with the machine.

Torch and cooling choice

For manual TIG work the data sheet lists the air-cooled ST 2200 torch, rated 180 A at 35 % duty, and the liquid-cooled ST 4000, rated 350 A at 100 % duty. In both families the Standard and U/D (up/down) variants are available, as well as FX versions. For high-current work above the air-cooled rating, the liquid-cooled torch with the WU 230 cooling unit is the intended pairing. The machine itself is rated up to 100 % at 340 A at 40 degrees C, so the torch and not the power source often sets the practical duty limit.

Supply and site notes

A 25 A slow blow fuse and a 4 x 4 mm2 supply cable of 5 m are listed, with a maximum input current of 13.4 A. The data sheet gives a 0.99 cos phi value and 88 % efficiency. As with any DC TIG machine, shielding gas, tungsten type and diameter, and filler selection come from the welding procedure rather than the power source.

About brand

Böhler Welding is the welding consumables brand of voestalpine Böhler Welding, part of the voestalpine group, with a portfolio that covers stick electrodes, TIG rods, solid wires, gas-shielded and self-shielded flux-cored wires and submerged-arc wires and fluxes. The company states more than 100 years of experience. Seven Star LLC, an independent supplier in Muscat, lists Böhler Welding consumables and welding machines, including pipeline electrodes, and sources Böhler Welding consumables for fabricators and pipeline contractors.

Böhler Welding product groups

Beyond the consumables above, Böhler Welding lists strip cladding, wire arc additive manufacturing, metal powders, arc spraying cored wires, ceramic weld backing, brazing consumables and welding automation such as orbital welding and collaborative robots. The pipeline range includes cellulosic FOX CEL electrodes and basic vertical-down FOX BVD electrodes for large-diameter line pipe.

Ordering Böhler Welding consumables: what we need

Give the product name, the AWS or EN classification, the diameter and length, and the packaging you need. For pipeline electrodes also state the pipe grade, wall thickness, welding position and whether sour-service test values are required, because the Böhler Welding data sheets note that some test values are available on request.
