A-25 (25% argon/75% helium) is used for nonferrous base when higher heat input and good weld appearance are needed. A-50 (50% argon/50% helium) is used for nonferrous metals thinner than 0.75 inch for high-speed mechanized welding. A-75 (75% argon/25% helium) is used for mechanized welding of thick aluminium. Reduces weld porosity in copper. [14]
In fact, since it uses both a flux-cored electrode and an external shielding gas, one might say that it is a combination of gas metal and FCAW. The most often used shielding gases are either straight carbon dioxide or argon carbon dioxide blends. The most common blend used is 75% Argon 25% Carbon Dioxide. [1]
Most weld purging is carried out on joints made by the TIG or GTAW arc welding process. [6] When the laser welding process is chosen, joints or welds being made on reactive materials will need to be carried out and in the case of electron beam welding, this is carried out in a vacuum, in which case purging takes place by complete evacuation of all gas.
SAW filler material usually is a standard wire as well as other special forms. This wire normally has a thickness of 1.6 mm to 6 mm (1/16 in. to 1/4 in.).
The gas nozzle directs the shielding gas evenly into the welding zone. Inconsistent flow may not adequately protect the weld area. Larger nozzles provide greater shielding gas flow, which is useful for high current welding operations that develop a larger molten weld pool. A gas hose from the tanks of shielding gas supplies the gas to the nozzle.
"Continuing to cannibalize existing customers by getting them to pay five dollars for what used to cost $12 is a failing strategy — the answer to foot traffic can't be to lose money on every sale."
