This category contains articles about some basics of the flux-cored arc welding process, with information on the advantages, principles of the process. A couple of articles talk about the equipment used in FCAW welding.
Flux-cored arc welding is a variation of gas metal arc welding (GMAW). In fact, the only feature that makes it distinct from the GMAW is the flux-cored wire that is used as the filler as well as electrode. As the name suggests, the flux-cored wire is cored with flux. It is a tubular electrode, with a … Read more
Flux-cored arc welding or tubular electrode welding is a variation of GMAW welding. It has some advantages over MIG welding such as improved arc action, improved weld metal properties, and a better weld appearance in general. In this process, the electrode is tubular in construction. The electrode is ‘cored’ with flux, hence the name flux-cored. FCAW, … Read more
