Metal-cored wire is among the more versatile and flexible welding wires available for today’s manufacturing requirements. It can be used to weld a wide variety of material thicknesses with equal success and offers the opportunity to substantially […]
Whether you’re a do-it-yourselfer who stick welds only a few times a year, or a professional welder who welds everyday, one thing is for certain: stick welding requires a lot of skill. It also requires some know-how about electrodes. […]
On applications ranging from shipbuilding to outdoor light poles, earthmoving equipment, and to high pressure steam piping, gas shielded low alloy flux cored wire can offer a number of advantages over other low alloy welding methods. […]
Because they comprise only about four percent of the overall cost of a welding operation, filler metals are often perceived as a simple commodity. They demand a per unit cost and require ongoing stocking, which necessarily […]
Cost and efficiency are two factors that dictate manufacturing and fabricating trends across most industries. In addition to implementing lean workflow practices —better, faster transportation and processing, and less wasteful inventory—many companies turn to the use of higher strength, lighter weight materials to reduce costs and improve productivity during welding.
