Welding Filler Alloys / Studs




   Welding Process / Form:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Flux Coated / Stick
 
     Flux coating are commonly applied to stick welding electrodes as well brazing rods or strips.  Stick electrode welding or shielded metal arc welding is among the most widely used welding processes.  The flux covering the electrode melts during welding or brazing, forming a gas, which shields the arc and molten weld pool.  The flux also forms a slag that protects the cooling weld pool or braze joint.  The slag must be chipped or brushed off the weld bead after welding. The flux coating also provides a method of adding scavengers, deoxidizers, and alloying elements to the weld metal.
 
   Flux Cored Wire
 
     Flux cored arc welding is similar to MIG welding except a wire with a central core filled with flux is utilized.  Usually, equipment suitable for MIG welding is capable of performing flux-cored, arc welding processes.  The flux eliminates the need for a shielding gas supply.  In the flux melting base joins cored arc welding process, metal and filler metals with an arc struck between a consumable filler metal wire and the base alloy work piece. The filler metal wire or consumable electrode is continuously fed and fused with the work piece.  Brazing rods are also available in flux cored forms.
 
   MIG Wire (GMAW)
 
     The Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process is commonly known as the Metal Inert Gas (MIG) process.  MIG welding is also referred to as short circuit transfer.  In the MIG arc welding process, metal is joined by melting the base and filler metals with an arc struck between a consumable filler metal wire and the base alloy work piece. The filler metal wire or consumable electrode is continuously fed and fused with the work piece. Externally supplied gas or gas mixtures provide shielding.  In normal MIG, no metal is transferred across the arc.  Metal is only deposited when the wire actually touches the work. 
 
   TIG Rod (GTAW)
 
     The Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process is commonly called Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process.  The TIG welding process joins metals by melting base and filler metals with an arc struck between a tungsten electrode and the work piece.  The tungsten electrode should not become part of the completed weld in normal operation. Filler metal is typically used and argon inert gas or inert gas mixtures are used for shielding.
 
   Weld Stud / Fastener
 
     Studs, nuts or other fasteners designed for welding to a work piece.  The fastener becomes an integral part of the welded assembly.  Special welding guns, power sources and systems are often used in the stud welding process.

     Other arc or plasma welding process not listed here.
