 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 by bleak down of a powder-flux core inside the wire aircompressortankoeakdown 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 scavengers to help purify the weld: deliver aircompressortankoeakdown are stabilizers to minimize spatter; add alloying elements aircompressortankoeakdown to the weld, for optimum mechanical properties; and provide shielding gas. Low-hydrogen types. These basic-coated electrodes, EXX15, EXX16, EXX18, EXX28, and EXX48, are formulated with low moisture-retaining coatings and manufactured to contain low levels of hydrogen. Hydrogen-controlled electrodes minimize risk of hydrogen-induced cold cracking when welding high-tensile steels on restrained structures. Fabricators use these electrodes to reduce or avoid the need for pre- or postweld heat treatment to drive hydrogen from weld metal. Weldmetal diffusible hydrogen content varies from 1 to 16 ml/100 g. Optional designators H16, H8, and H4 set decreasing limits on hydrogen content in deposited weld metal. An optional electrode designator, ''R'', indicates aircompressortankoeakdown an electrode that is moisture resistant; it will not absorb water in excess of a specified limit after exposure to humidity. Low-hydrogen electrodes should be used in dry condition and may require baking after exposure to the atmosphere. 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 alloys, surfacing alloys, nickel and its alloys, titanium and its aircompressortankoeakdown alloys, carbon and low alloy steels, magnesium alloys, and zirconium and its alloys.
