The recommended amperage ranges for different flux core wire diameters is important for getting the best welding results. An essential aspect of this is using the correct amperage ranges for the materials employed and to be welded. With Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), the selection and calibration of these amperage ranges according to the flux…
Welding galvanized steel with flux core wire can be challenging especially if you are not familiar with the flux core method. Galvanized steel is coated with a layer of zinc that protects it from corrosion, but also creates problems when welding. The zinc can vaporize and form toxic fumes, which can cause health issues and…
Flux-Core and MIG welding are two of the most commonly used welding techniques. Flux-Core welding uses a continuously-fed consumable electrode, which is shielded by a flux compound to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination. MIG welding, on the other hand, uses a continuously-fed consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas to protect the weld…
Whether you’re a homeowner trying to repair your roof or a professional steelworker trying to get your job done there are going to be times when you might need to weld without using gas. There are various different ways of welding with the use if a shielding gas and each has its own drawbacks. Generally…
