Flux Core Arc Welding

Flux Core Arc Welding

Information and Guidance to FCAW Flux core arc welding (FCAW) was introduced in the 1950’s as an alternative to shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). The advantage of FCAW over SMAW is that the use of the stick electrodes used in SMAW is unnecessary. This helped FCAW to...
Measurement of Arc Welding parameters

Measurement of Arc Welding parameters

To confirm that a weld has been made to specification it is usually required to measure and often document the parameters that have been used. For arc welding the main parameters are as follows: Welding current Arc voltage Travel speed These parameters can be used to...
