 For special applications, manufacturers offer metal-cored wires for GMAW. These are composite electrodes comprised of a metal sheath with a powder-metal core. They are often confused with flux-cored wires, which form a slag that completely covers the weld bead face; metal-cored wires produce very little slag. IngersollfandAirCompressorStartUpKitModel20103420 A major advantage of metal-cored wires is the ability to manufacture IngersollfandAirCompressorStartUpKitModel20103420 specialized alloy IngersollfandAirCompressorStartUpKitModel20103420 compositions not easily available or producible in solid wire fore1. Modifying the composition of the powder-alloy core allows IngersollfandAirCompressorStartUpKitModel20103420 the wire manufacturer to customize wire formulations to metallurgical, compositional, or physical IngersollfandAirCompressorStartUpKitModel20103420 properties per customer demand. Horizontal-fillet welds made with metal-cored GMAW can deposit weld metal at rates up to 20 percent higher than with solid wire. Alloying elements, such as silicon, in the powder-metal core improve sidewall wetting and reduce weld-bead convexity by reducing surface tension of the molten weld pool. For this reason, IngersollfandAirCompressorStartUpKitModel20103420 flat and horizontal welds deposited with metal-cored wires have better appearance than weld metal deposited with flux cored and solid wires. Compared to solid wires, metal-cored wires also result in higher current density, for increased penetration; a wider operating window with respect to welding-process variables: better sidewall melting; and less lack of fusion. For flux-cored-arc welding, shops use CV or CC types, 300 to 1,500 A, 25 to 50 V, rated 60- to 100-percent-duty cycle. CV types are more popular because wire-feed speed, set before welding, controls welding current. Cc types require a variable-speed or voltage-sensing wire feeder.Gas-tungsten-arc welding (GTAW) requires a constant-current (AC or DC) power supply with a steep volt-amp curve to minimize current change for variation IngersollfandAirCompressorStartUpKitModel20103420 in voltage or arc length. They come rated to 1,500 A, 10 to 75 V, at 40- to 100-percent-duty cycle. Most IngersollfandAirCompressorStartUpKitModel20103420 GTAW power supplies come equipped with high-frequency circuitry for arc initiation and stabilization, gas valves, and cooling-water valves for high-current welding. High-frequency arc start is useful when the maximum open-circuit voltage allowed by NEMA standards, 80 to 100 V, will not establish and maintain a stable arc.
