Four Things You Must Know About Metal-Cored Wire
In recent years, metal-cored wires have become an increasingly common option to enhance productivity, improve quality and reduce costs in the metal fabrication industry. Here are four important details about metal-cored wire that shops should know if they are considering a filler metal conversion.
Advancements for Welding Galvanized Steel in Automotive Applications
Galvanized steel, with its protective layer of zinc oxide on the surface, offers excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, even at thinner gauges. These features make it an increasingly popular material in automotive applications, because it allows manufacturers to build lighter-weight vehicles capable of greater gas mileage, while still maintaining safety and quality.
Consistent Performance of New Hobart Stick Electrode Improves Operator Control and Weld Quality
Hobart has added to its family of AWS E6010 stick electrodes with the 610 stick electrode featuring a concentric design.
First Aluminum Filler Metals Hit the Market
MaxalMig 4943 wire and MaxalTig 4943 cut-lengths from Hobart Brothers are a response to industry demands for a higher-strength aluminum welding solution that also offers the advantages of using a 4043 aluminum filler metal, including excellent corrosion resistance, ease of welding and low hot cracking sensitivity.
Metal-Cored Wire Offers Higher Deposition Rates, Faster Travel Speeds
The FabCOR F6 gas-shielded metal-cored wire from Hobart Brothers provides higher deposition rates and increases productivity on single-pass, flat and horizontal welding applications, particularly when compared to solid wires.
Next Generation Solid Wire Bulk Packaging is Ideal for Multi-Robot Stations
The Jumbo Marathon Pac 2 from ESAB features a near-round shape that maximizes packaging strength and minimizes the impact of shipping and handling on wire feedability, and an all-new decoiling system that ensures high productivity by reducing feeding stops for continuous, trouble-free operation.
Bulk Packaging System is Tangle Free Solution for Aluminum MIG Wire
The Gem-Pak bulk packaging system from Lincoln Electric utilizes glass gems rather than a payoff ring to control the release of wire and increase production without an expensive external payoff device.
Flux-Cored Wires Offer Lowest Manganese Levels in the Marketplace
Element wires from Hobart Brothers offer enhanced out-of-position welding capability and consistent operability that is ideal for improving productivity in shipbuilding fabrication, general fabrication and heavy equipment manufacturing.
Nickel Tungsten Carbide Hardfacing Alloys for Upstream Oil & Gas Applications
Stoody 155FC and Stoody 160FC alloys from Victor Technologies are engineered to protect against extreme abrasion, and their applications can be identified through the web-based Stoody Express 4 selection guide that uses simplified search criteria to assist in selecting hardfacing products.
Flux-Cored Wires for Heavy Equipment Manufacturing, Shipbuilding, Railroad Car Maintenance
FabCO® 70XHP gas-shielded flux-cored wire from Hobart Brothers offers low fume generation rates to help improve operator comfort and high deposition rates that help increase productivity.
Filler Metal: The Key to Welding Austenitic Stainless Steel Tube and Pipe
Welding austenitic stainless steel does present some challenges compared to welding ordinary steel piping. Special attention must be paid to the amount of heat input during welding, and beforehand when selecting filler metals. Here is a brief overview of the sizes and types of filler metals used with each welding process, as well as their pros and cons.
