Welding with Kobelco Flux Cored Wires (FCW)

Before welding, the shielded gas to be applied, parameters and welding method must be determined.

SHIELDED GASES

The proper gas composition is important for the bead appearance, weldability and the mechanical properties of the weld metal.

WELDING PARAMETERS

Welding current and voltage influence the arc stability, bead appearance, penetration, spatter etc. A proper welding current depends on type and size of wire and welding position. Welding speed and stick-out  should also be adjusted for optimum results.

WELDING TECHNIQUE AND TORCH ANGLE

When welding with mild steel FCW, forehand welding is mostly preferred. For welding stainless steel FCW backhand welding achieves best result.
