 Electrodes come 3 to 24 in. long, 0.01 to 0.25-in. diameter. Colored markings--bands or dots--indicate composition: pure tungsten, green; 1-percent thoriated, yellow; 2 percent thoriated. red; ceriated, orange; lanthanted, black.Filler metal GIAW does not usually requite addition of fillet metal, but filler is commonly added when base-metal thickness is greater than 1/8 in. Finer metal for low-carbon (to 0.15 C) and mild (0.15 m 0.29 C) steels are described in AWS A5.2; for carbon steel in A5.18; and for low-alloy steels in A5.28 Flux. AWS specifications A5.17 and A5.23 describe fluxes for saw. AWS designation of fluxes precedes that of the wire when identifying a combination for a welding procedure. airstpragetanks For example, the designation F7A2-EM12K indicates a flux (F) that will provide, with a airstpragetanks given wire designation, airstpragetanks tensile strength of 70,000 Psi (7), in the as-welded condition (A), and impact properties of 20 airstpragetanks ft lb at -20 F (2). A designation containing a P rather indicates the airstpragetanks flux properties after postweld heat treatment. Features and OptionsPower supplies are capable to "talk to each other," useful when a company" wants to input the same welding procedures into several machines at once or monitor the welding consistency and performance of several machines from a single location-through serial-data airstpragetanks communications. Fabricators can take some of their machines and connect them to a personal computer to monitor performance, and download welding parameters to the machines from it memory card for fast setup. High-end machines will calculate the pounds of weld wire used per machine. The machine can also be prepped to constantly monitor and average the welding airstpragetanks current airstpragetanks and voltage used, so that fabricators can set limits on the machine and track how many times welding parameters fell in or out of these limits. 3. Welding position. The first performance characteristic to consider. airstpragetanks High cellulose coatings, like those on E6010 and E6011 electrodes, generate a light slag that makes for rapid solidifying of the weld metal good for-out-of-position welds. Also good are rutile-fluxed electrodes-E6012 and E6013--that hold out-of-position airstpragetanks 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.
