FCAW-G and FCAW-SS both form a slag layer to be eroded between the layers of the weld.Filler metal FCAW-SS eliminates the need for external shielding gas and tolerate stronger wind conditions without causing porosity.Thus the welding process is becoming more economical in jobs in welding workshops. The FCAW-g process has the advantage of deeper penetration and a higher charging rate than the SMAW process.T-type electrode 5 has a basic slag containing lower hydrogen weld metal and increases the impact properties and resistance to cracking satisfactory.


Electrodes T-2 is never to be used for multipass welding due to the increase of Mn and Si cause the tensile strength of weld metal that is not dissolved will increase in size, causing problems with cracks when being welded or the use of sour service conditions. Electrode type T-2 is designed for single pass welding on rusted metals and has a deoxidizer Mn and Si higher.Only a certain amount of flux cored electrode eligible low hydrogen and this is the most widely available of the type T-1. Electrode T-1 has good welding properties but did not help keep the acid slag into a low hydrogen weld metal unless specially manufactured.In the welding of carbon steel and low alloy steel, the flux-cored electrode that is widely used is the type T-1 (acid slag), T-2 (single-pass welding), and T-5 (basic slag). However, the difference lies in the method of the above additional gas supply system and a welding torch (welding gun) is used. The above two methods together produce weld slag from the flux in the welding wire that serves to protect the weld metal when the freezing process. Is protected with dual gas, which protects the weld metal is melted by using its own gas also added a protective gas that comes from outside the system. Which is the process of protecting the weld metal is melted by using gas from the evaporation or reaction of the core flux. Based on the protective methods, Welding FCAW may be divided into two. FCAW Welding Definition, Process and Wire classification:įCAW Welding Definition, Process and Wire classification:įCAW welding process is the same as GMAW welding, but the difference is a welding wire or tubular-shaped electrode containing a flux while GMAW Solid shaped.
