Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does FCAW mean in welding?
FCAW stands for Flux-Cored Arc Welding, a welding process that uses a continuously fed consumable tubular electrode filled with flux to create the weld joint, and it may or may not use a shielding gas.
Q: What is the difference between FCAW and MIG welding?
FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding) and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding both use a continuous wire feed and an electric arc to create welds, but the key difference lies in the type of wire and the need for shielding gas. FCAW uses a wire that contains a flux core, which can produce its own gas shield as it burns, potentially eliminating the need for external shielding gas. MIG welding uses a solid wire and always requires an external supply of shielding gas to protect the weld pool from contamination.
Q: What can I weld with a flux core welder?
With a flux core welder, you can weld various types of steel, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and some low-alloy steels, typically in thicknesses that range from thin gauge sheet metal to heavier structural plates.
Q: Does a flux welder require gas?
A flux welder using self-shielded flux-cored wire does not require external shielding gas since the flux within the wire creates a protective gas shield as it burns. However, some flux-cored wires are designed to be used with shielding gas, in which case external gas would be needed.
