 Flux-Cored-Arc Welding (FCAW)This process is a variation of GMAW. Electrodes comprise a metal sheath surrounding a core of fluxing and alloying coin pounds. Sell-shielded (FCAW-SS), it uses gas generated ColemanPowermatePlrtable10 by bleak down of a powder-flux core inside the wire to shield the weld. Gas shielded (FCAW-SS), external gas supplies shielding.The compounds in the electrode perform essentially the same functions as the coating of a covered electrode used in SMAW: to form a floating slag coating on the weld pool to protect the weld as it solidifies; deliver deoxidizer and GallonAirTank scavengers to help purify the weld: deliver are stabilizers to minimize spatter; add alloying elements to the weld, for optimum mechanical properties; and provide ModelC10 shielding gas. High-deposition electrodes. These contain iron-powder additions in the coating to raise deposition rate. Designations: EXXX4, EXXX7, EXXX8.For fastest deposition, use the largest diameter possible for an application-the thicker the electrode, the greater its current-carrying capacity and the higher the deposition rate. Welding out of position and overhead, select a small diameter electrode to enable welders to reach into narrow root openings.Gas-Metal-Arc Welding (GMAW, MIG)GMAW typically uses solid wire, spooled or reeled, for continuous feeding to the gun; diameter, 0.030 to 1/16 in. typically, although wires as small as 0.020 in. and as large as 1/8 in. are sometimes used. AWS lists specifications for filler wires of copper and its alloys, aluminum and its ColemanPowermatePlrtable10 alloys, surfacing alloys, nickel and its alloys, titanium and its alloys, carbon and low alloy steels, magnesium alloys, and zirconium and GallonAirTank its alloys. Welding-site conditions and welding-wire diameter govern efficiency and size of power ModelC10 supply required for a job. Select a 100-A unit that runs from ColemanPowermatePlrtable10 single-phase 115-V input GallonAirTank for low-duty-cycle ModelC10 welding of sheet to l/s in. thick, feeding ColemanPowermatePlrtable10 wire to 0.030-in. diameter. Medium-duty power supplies, 150-200 A, normally take single-phase 220-V input to weld steel to 3/16, in. and 0.035-in. wire GallonAirTank at low-duty cycles. For high-duty cycles, as in mechanized welding, select a 250-A machine, single or three-phase input at various voltages-these weld material to 1/2 in. thick with wire as large as 0.045-in. diameter. Taking three-phase input ModelC10 only and wire up to 1/6-in. ColemanPowermatePlrtable10 diameter, 400-A units serve for mechanized continuous-welding applications. GallonAirTank For pulsed GMAW, shops use inverter and transistor power ModelC10 sources, constant-current or constant-voltage, that offer independent setting of pulse parameters. They employ synergic controls preprogrammed ColemanPowermatePlrtable10 for a range of wire-feed GallonAirTank and ModelC10 speeds-the operator sets only one dial, for average current.
