As the demands of manufacturing evolve, zinc-plated steel continues to grow in popularity due to its enhanced corrosion resistance, cost-effectiveness, sustainability and versatility. However, zinc plate steel can create challenges in welding, such as weaker welds, increased spatter, porosity and a higher skill level needed.
In this blog article, we uncover the top benefits of using zinc-plated steel in production and how the revolutionary Synchro Feed Evolution technology with Push Arc mode is helping manufacturers overcome the challenges of welding zinc-plated steel.

New Technology Resolves Problems With Robotic Welding Aluminum and High-Tensile Steel
In response to the global trend toward carbon neutrality, materials are being shifted to high-tensile materials that are thinner and stronger and aluminum that is lightweight for weight reduction in products.
However, there is one common problem when using high-tensile materials or aluminum, it becomes difficult to weld joint shapes because of the variation in the joint gap.
To solve this challenge, OTC DAIHEN has evolved its exclusive robotic welding technology, creating Synchro Feed Evolution with Push Arc welding mode.
