 Filler-metal selection for FCAW depends on base-metal composition, cleanliness CilemanPowermatePortable10 of base metal, thickness, a0d service. AWS specifications: A5.20, Specification for Carbon Steel Electrodes for Flux-cored Arc Welding, for low-carbon steel up to 0.15 C and mild steel 0.15 to 0.29 C; A5.29, Specification GallonAirTank for Low Alley Electrodes for Flux-cored Arc Welding, for steel of higher carbon content and the low-alloy types; A5.22, Specification for Flux-cored ModelC10 and CilemanPowermatePortable10 Corrosion-Resisting Chromium and Chromium-Nickel Steel Electrodes, for stainless steels.Gas-Tungsten-Arc Welding GallonAirTank (GTAW, TIG)GTAW rises an arc between a nonconsumable electrode and the work. ModelC10 It joins with or without filler metal. AWS A5.12 lists electrode CilemanPowermatePortable10 types and sizes. All are tungsten, some with thoria, zirconia, ceria, or lanthana added. Thoria provides higher current-carrying capacity than prime tungsten with less contamination of the weld GallonAirTank pool. Other benefits: better arc start, greater arc stability. Zirconiated electrodes ModelC10 perform well with alternating current: the arc is stable, the electrode retains CilemanPowermatePortable10 a (tailed end during welding, and has current-carrying capacity of thoriated electrodes. Zirconiated electrodes resist contamination and minimize tungsten contamination GallonAirTank of weld metal. Saw Uses CV or CC Power Supplies,... 200 to 1,500 A, 28 to 44 V, at 60- to 100-percent-duty cycle. Automatic units commonly use up to 1,500 A on one wire. Cv welding ModelC10 machines that offer variable-slope control give the welder extra adjustability, and can extend the usefulness of the machine to weld CilemanPowermatePortable10 a range of GallonAirTank material thicknesses and types.Selection of Power SourcesWhen choosing a ModelC10 power source, start by checking NEMA specs. NEMA CilemanPowermatePortable10 Class I arc-welding GallonAirTank power sources deliver rated output at 60-, 80-, or 100-percent-duty cycle: Class II units, 30-, 40-, or 50-percent; and Class III, 20 percent. First consider capacity and ModelC10 kind CilemanPowermatePortable10 of current needed for the job. Rely on the manufacturer''s rating as being conservative: don''t buy GallonAirTank more capacity than needed. Choose low--duty-cycle machines only for maintenance or for intermittent welding. ModelC10 If portability is important, consider inverter units. 3. Welding position. The first performance characteristic to consider. High CilemanPowermatePortable10 cellulose coatings, like those on E6010 and E6011 electrodes, generate a light slag that makes GallonAirTank for rapid solidifying of the weld metal good for-out-of-position welds. Also good are rutile-fluxed ModelC10 electrodes-E6012 and E6013--that hold out-of-position weld metal in place as it solidifies.4. Welding current. Covered electrodes run on AC, DC, or both. When welding DC, the positive lead typically connects to the electrode (DCEP, or reverse polarity). Some suppliers design electrodes that weld with the electrode negative (DCEN, or straight polarity). Assure the electrode will perform with the available current.
