Flux-Cored Arc Welding

Image
  Welding involves joining different materials together. In the welding process a good amount of 'melting' of the metals takes place while fixing two metals together, and this is what differentiates it from soldering and brazing. Usually metals or thermoplastics are used in the welding process. Flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) is one of the popular welding processes. It is an automatic or semi-automatic arc procedure. Introduced in the 1950s, this process involves the use of a new kind of wire electrode on an MIG welding machine. This is the reason why flux-cored is regarded as similar to MIG welding process. The equipment's used in both the processes are same, so are wire fields and power supply. The wire used in this purpose is the tubular wire and not that the usual solid wire. Basically there are two types of flux-cored wire: Self-shielded Dual Shield While self-shielded wires do not use any external gas shield, rather they employ the flux to shield the molten weld puddle;...

Common welding mistakes which you need to avoid

Image
Welding is the process which involves joining different materials together. Unlike soldering and brazing, during welding a good amount of 'melting' of the metals take place while fixing them together.   Ususally thermoplastics or metals are used in the welding process. Like  any other sphere of work, welding too requires an indepth understanding of the basics. There are some mistakes which are commonly committed in the welding process. Right from using the wrong voltage, to creating an arc way too longer than is required.  Logos Weld Products  is   one of the leading  welding electrode plant supplier in India. With years of experience and expertise, here is a list of mistake which needs to be avoided in the welding process. Mistake #1 – Making the arc outside the weld joint Striking is not an easy task, more so in case of beginners, due to which several times it is seen that the arc is striked outside the weld joint. The best way to avoid this situati...
