Minimize Downtime with the Right Filler Metal Package
Delivering the right size and style of filler metal packaging on a timely basis contributes meaningfully to overall efficiency. Tim Hensley of Hobart Brothers explains how to assess your current filler metal usage to determine if you have the most appropriate size to support your production goals.
How to Determine the Diffusible Hydrogen of Mild Steel Weld Filler Material
To avoid hydrogen-induced cracking, the hydrogen level in the welding filler material must be restricted to a certain maximum level. What exactly is the method for measuring the hydrogen content of a carbon steel weld filler material?
Estimating Total Welding Costs
Keeping your welding costs low goes far beyond buying the lowest priced wire available. You must analyze how welding processes that increase deposition rate and increase productivity will reduce the largest component of welding costs – your labor and overhead. Here’s how to do it.

Troubleshooting the Wire Feed System
Accurately troubleshooting problems with the delivery of the welding wire to the weld pool and the current to the wire when they arise or, better yet, avoiding them before they arise, is crucial to maximizing the benefits that these processes offer.
Selecting the Proper Filler Metals for Duplex Stainless Steel
Here are several important tricks that will maintain 50 percent austenite and 50 percent ferrite microstructure in the base metal, HAZ, and the weld metal.
