Safra Aluminium wires: Elevating safety and productivity in rail car construction.

This is an East Midlands Branch event organised and run by our East Midlands for its members. Other members and non-members are welcome to join us.

Overview: This presentation will explore the technical advancements made by  Safra into aluminium wires and their impact on the realm of aluminium railroad car construction looking at cutting-edge wire technology and its unique properties and practical applications in enhancing work safety and productivity. Michael will illustrate the advantages of the smooth surface of the aluminium wires which leave no residuals, and the technical aspects of trouble-free wire feeding, achieved through the elimination of torsional stress during payoff from the drums, resulting in longitudinal straight welding seams. This presentation will also consider the challenges of use in rail car construction, truck trailers and the automotive industry.
