MIG-welding has now established itself as a joining process in many industries. It is being used more and more frequently in vehicle repair and restoration in particular, but also in switch cabinet, ventilation and air conditioning system construction. In other words, whenever galvanized or coated thin sheets or even high-strength steel sheets need to be joined with low heat input. The material is not melted here, but rather a brazed connection is made between the workpieces.
Perfectly matched sheet metal is therefore a prerequisite, and the smallest possible gap makes the work much easier. The use of a cutting disc with a maximum thickness of 1 mm, preferably 0.8 mm, greatly simplifies the work later on during the vehicle repair.
Extra-thin cutting discs from RHODIUS in diameters 115 and 125 are extremely thin, ranging from 1.0 mm to an unrivaled 0.6 mm disc thickness.
They enable virtually burr-free sheet metal processing, for example when cutting out mudguards. They also impress with minimal flying sparks and a particularly cool cut.
This cool cut is the be-all and end-all, as the (painted) sheet metal undergoes almost no thermal changes in the cutting edge zone. The material distortion is minimal. A narrow, clean cut and high lateral stability ensure precise work with minimum effort.
Further decisive advantages for MIG-welding. New sheet metal can be optimally fitted. The solder wire only has to close a small gap. The gap remains small and the distances even. The required very good joint strength can be achieved.
At RHODIUS, cutting discs with a diameter of 115 mm and 125 mm in the extra-thin version bear the product abbreviation XT. With a maximum disc width of 1.5 mm, they are the ideal tool for processing thin-walled materials as well as solid material.
