Welding rod is mainly used for manual metal arc welding, and it consisted of true metal and flux coating. The welding rod core will conduct the current to make the arc between the welding piece and provide filler metal for it. our popular products are 7018 welding rod, 6013 welding rod, 6010 welding rod, 6011 welding rod and so on, feel free to contact us to get the best price.
Solid welding wire is used for gas metal arc welding (GMAW), Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) and etc. The applications and characteristics are different due to the different ways of welding. In general, the characteristics of carbon dioxide arc welding, metal inert gas arc welding(MIG) and metal active gas arc welding(MAG) are high efficiency, full-position welding, low cost, poor wind resistance and outdoor application capacity.
On the other hand, the advantages of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) are high efficiency, low cost, great welding performance, suitable for flat welding and groove welding…ding is suitable for plate sheets, but welding efficiency is lower.
So, when you select the welding method, you should consider some factors, including the cost and efficiency of welding. And you should pick the suitable welding wire according to the welding technology, efficiency, performance for weldment.
Flux-cored welding wire is a new welding material. So it has great adaptability to the base metal, and with high production efficiency of welding. And it widely be used in automatic welding, semi-automatic welding, gas-shielded welding and so on.
Flux is a granular solder material. It can be melted to form slag and gas during welding, which protects the molten pool and plays a metallurgical role. A substance that can be melted to form slag and gas during welding, which protects and metallurgically treats molten metal.
