There are many different welding processes and wires and it can be difficult to choose which will best suit your application. Let’s examine the differences between the GMAW solid wire and FCAW flux cored wire welding processes. These processes are very popular and have some similarities, but also some very big differences. To determine which process to use, it is necessary to check some important variables. Some of the variables

One of the trends in welding is the reduction of operating costs, using more economical welding processes, which have higher deposition rates. GTAW (TIG) welding provides the highest quality welds, but the method is relatively slow. For this reason, it is used most often for root passes. The rest of the joint is welded with a more efficient method, such as coated electrodes or GMAW (MIG) wires. Covered electrodes are

Cored wire welding offers many advantages in welding construction applications, including high deposition speeds and good chemical and mechanical properties. Arc welding with self-shielded flux cored wires has been a viable welding process for assembling steel structures, heavy equipment repairs, bridge construction and similar applications for many years. This is not surprising, as this welding offers high deposition speeds, excellent chemical and mechanical properties and the weldability required for these
