  1. Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)

  2. Linnert, Welding Metallurgy, AWS, 1994

  3. Flux-Cored Arc Welding FCAW Electrode Classification E70 T - 1 Electrode Type Gas, Usability and Performance Minimum UTS 70,000 psi Flux Cored /Tubular Electrode Position American Welding Society Specification AWS A5.20 and AWS A5.29.

  4. Linnert, Welding Metallurgy AWS, 1994

  5. Flux-Cored Arc Welding Advantages • High deposition rates • Deeper penetration than SMAW • High-quality • Less pre-cleaning than GMAW • Slag covering helps with larger out-of-position welds • Self-shielded FCAW is draft tolerant.

  6. Flux-Cored Arc Welding Limitations • Slag must be removed • More smoke and fumes than GMAW and SAW • Spatter • FCAW wire is more expensive • Equipment is more expensive and complex than for SMAW
