New Submerged Arc Welding Guide Simplifies Wire and Flux Selection for Carbon Steel/Non-Alloyed Applications

By: Hobart Brothers

TROY, Ohio. August 10, 2016— Hobart has a new Submerged Arc Welding guide available, featuring 13 of its best-in-class wires and fluxes. Hobart engineers specifically chose eight wires and five fluxes capable of addressing the challenges of virtually any carbon/non-alloyed steel welding application. The guide includes detailed information on the company’s SubCOR™ seamed and seamless cored (composite) wires; SDX copper-coated solid wires; and SWX, HA- and HN- agglomerated fluxes.

Designed to simplify the selection of wires and flux for submerged arc welding, the guide provides features and benefits of each Hobart wire and recommendations for pairing the appropriate flux, along with suggested operating parameters for gaining optimal results. Easy-to-read charts throughout the guide include information on product comparisons, standard packaging and part numbers, and competitive product cross references, as well as important details on categories of flux and their key applications. A quick reference page outlining wire and flux classifications, per the American Welding Society (AWS), offers an overview of the ways flux and wire perform together.

The new Submerged Arc Welding guide is available by download or can be requested in hard copy by calling 888-462-2789 or visiting HobartBrothers.com/support/literature-request.
