Flux Cored Arc Welding Machine

Share |

The machine is used for Flux cored arc welding (FCAW) processes. FCAW is also known as flux cored welding and it is a semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process.

Working Principle
These machines require continuously fed consumable tubular electrode containing a flux and a constant voltage. In certain situations, the machine requires a continuous current welding supply. The machine is provided with self shielding flux cored arc welding wires, otherwise, gas shielded welding wires can also be used. The machine produces high wielding speeds.

Advantages of FCAW Machine
There are several advantages of using flux cored arc machine or FCAW. Some of them are:

Yields good quality weld metal deposit
Fit for all position welding
Higher deposition rates than shielding metal arc welding
Requires low operator skill

Uses & Applications
There are many different applications of FCAW machines in different industries. Few common applications and uses are:

Metal working
Construction industry
Fabrication
Casting
Metallurgy
Machining
Jewellery crafting
