FCAW with 1/16 wire
Posted: Fri Sep 11, 2015 10:37 pm
Hello everyone. I have a few questions about welding with FCAW. First some background and specifics . Ive been welding for 5 years and my experience is GTAW and GMAW on 300 series stainless and duplex material and virtually no experience with carbon. Ive ran 045. Flux cored a few times but it was on 18/ 8 steel. so at my new job I started today I was struggling to say the least when I was running this fcaw 1/16 wire on carbon. I got alot of undercut and overlap which I know i can quickly be eliminated with some tips for settings and techniques. Heres some specifics:
Hobart Arc 71 wire
572 grade 50 material
Gas is coming from a manifold system so im not 100%sure
2g /2f position
Any tips or information is greatly appreciated and if you require any additional information please let me know. Thanks in advance.
