Electrode Selection

The following points should be considered whenselecting the proper coated electrode.

1. Match the mechanical properties of the basemetal.

2. Match the chemical composition of the basemetal as closely as possible.

3. Match electrode to available power supply —AC or DCEN (electrode negative) or DCEP(electrode positive).

4. Match the electrode to the position of theweld.

5. Observe joint design — Use deep penetrat-ing electrodes for tight fit-up and unbeveledjoints. Use light penetration electrodes forpoor fit-up and thin material.

6. Observe service conditions and selectelectrode accordingly — High temperature,low temperature, corrosive atmosphere,impact loading. These conditions are bestmet by using low hydrogen electrodes.

7. Consider welding costs — Highest deposi-tion rate is in the flat position. Use high ironpower electrodes to further increase deposi-tion. By far, the largest factor is labor andoverhead.

ATOM ARC ®

Iron PowderLow Hydrogen Electrodes

The introduction of iron powder into low hydrogenelectrodes greatly increased productivity, making the useof Atom Arc for most welding operations more thancompetitive with common mild steel electrodes in overallcost. The real advantage of course is that by improvingthe efficiency of welding operations, fabricators have ameans of equalizing increasing overhead and labor costs.

Moisture Resistant CoatingAtom Arc electrodes are manufactured with a flux coatingthat effectively resists moisture pick-up for many hoursafter the container is opened. This improved coatingprovides an extra degree of reliability, especially forelectrodes exposed to high temperature, high humidityworking conditions.

Typical % Moisture in Atom Arc Coatings

It should be noted that even though Atom Arc electrodesresist moisture pick-up longer than ever before, nomoisture resistant electrode will eliminate the need forstorage and rebake ovens or the necessity to follow coderequirements for allowable exposure times.The graph above shows the rate of moisture pick-up ofAtom Arc electrodes.

Electrode StorageUnopened containers can be stored safely for an indefi-nite length of time under normal dry storage conditions.They should be protected from humid air after thecontainer is opened by being kept at 225°F to 300°F,(107°C to 149°C) or if the need arises, they can bereconditioned by baking for one hour at 700°F (371°C).

Heat Treatable ElectrodesThese heat-treatable electrodes are named after thetypes of steel they are designed to weld. While the weldmetal composition does not necessarily match that of thesteel, the carbon content is close and thus the tensilestrength matches that of the steel throughout the fulltempering temperature range. The iron powder in thecoating permits the use of higher welding currents whichincreases the deposition rate, eliminates starting porosity,and greatly increases operator efficiency. Each electrodehas a smooth arc action with practically no spatter anddeposits a smooth uniform weld bead.

ATOM ARC ®

Iron PowderLow Hydrogen Electrodes

Welding Procedure:Experienced welders find Atom Arc electrodes surpris-ingly easy to use compared to conventional low hydrogenelectrodes and quite different from ordinary mild steelelectrodes. The following steps should be taken to obtainmaximum performance from these electrodes.Proper Current — Set the power source for the properamperage on either DCEP (Electrode Positive) oralternating current.Starting Technique — Strike electrode ahead of theusual starting point and back step to the previous bead.Reduce arc length to proper height and proceed.Do Not Use a Whipping Technique — This should notbe used with a 7018 electrode. Use a straightforwardprogression in all positions. Weaving may be used aslong as a short arc length is maintained.Diameters 3/32" (2.4mm), 1/8" (3.2mm), 5/32" (4.0mm)are all position electrodes, 3/16" (4.8mm), 7/32" (5.6mm),1/4" (6.4mm) diameter electrodes are recommended forflat or horizontal fillet work only.

ARCALOY ® Stainless SteelCovered Electrode Coatings

Coating Types...Factors such as coating type and corewire analysis can affect the corrosion resistance andmechanical properties of the weld metals as well as theequipment that must be used, position of welding,radiographic standards, bead shape required and thetotal economics of making the joint. Each of the threecoating types has its own area of application.Lime...coatings, also known as lime fluorspar or basic,are generally associated with the suffix -15 designation.They give the cleanest weld metal, which is usually thelowest oxygen and inclusions and are more resistant tomoisture and porosity. The weld metal tends to betougher, more ductile, more crack resistant and havehigher corrosion resistance. They also have good all-position characteristics and are often chosen for sitework. They are normally usable only with direct currentand should be the choice of the most demanding applica-tions.AC-DC...coatings can be used with alternating or directcurrent and have the suffix -16. The major component isrutile, also known an titania, with some limestone which iswhy the coating type is sometimes referred to as basic-rutile.These AC-DC electrodes are the most popular type, andhave the following characteristics: excellent startingproperties are obtained with all types of AC welding equip-ment. The arc is stable, smooth, with fine spray weld metaltransfer and the bead is uniform, flat or slightly concave withstraight-line feathered edges. Penetration is complete andthe weld metal is free from porosity. Slag is easily andcompletely removed without secondary film which meansless cleaning, grinding and polishing time. Arcaloy AC-DCelectrodes give good out-of-position characteristics. Themechanical properties of AC-DC weld metals are similar toweld metal from lime coated electrodes except it can bestronger with good ductility.Plus...coatings are also titania based, but in addition,contain a high proportion of silicates and other acid compo-nents. These electrodes are very easy to use on AC as wellas DC and have the suffix -17. Arcaloy Plus coated elec-trodes were developed for application where the weld beadmust be smooth and blend into the base metal to minimizegrinding where a crevice can cause corrosion. The weldbead is concave and has minimal ripple. These Arcaloy Pluselectrodes give a smooth spray transfer and produce verylow levels of spatter. The acid slag tends to give the lowestcarbon levels and higher silicon levels. This can be ideal forcorrosion resistance, but for critical mechanical applications,the use of a lime or even an AC-DC coating is preferred.

ARCALOY ® Stainless SteelMetal Core Wires

Arcaloy Metal Cored (MC) wires are small diameterstainless steel metal cored electrodes designed primarilyfor the welding of thin gauge materials. These wires havethe typical metal cored wire welding characteristics, i.e.,higher deposition rate and less penetration than a solidwire. As a result, these wires are best used to makesmall butt, fillet and lap type welds on gauge material atincreased travel speeds compared to solid wire.

The low spatter and slag-free welds make these elec-trodes ideal for automatic or robotic welding applications.A lagging gun angle can also be used to further minimizethe penetration and the oxide film formed on the surfaceof the weld. Typical applications include catalyticconverters, manifolds, mufflers, exhaust systems,cladding, etc.

The recommended shielding gas for a spray transfer is anargon rich gas containing 1-2% oxygen or carbon dioxide.For overall best results to limit surface oxides andoptimize the bead shape, the recommended shielding gaswould be 99% Ar/1% CO2. Proprietary argon-basedshielding gases with small amounts of hydrogen and CO2additions also produce excellent results (e.g. 1% H2 + 2-3% CO2, remainder Ar). Pulse welding can also be usedto further minimize the burn-through problems generallyassociated with thin gauge materials.

SHIELD-BRIGHT ® andSHIELD-BRIGHT X-traGas Shielded Flux CoredStainless Steel Wires

Shield Bright — All-PositionShield-Bright wires were specially developed for out-of-position welding. They are unsurpassed for vertical-up jointsand work equally well in the overhead position. Theseelectrodes will deposit out-of-position welds at substantiallyhigher welding currents than other stainless steel flux cored,all-position electrodes, resulting in a higher deposition rate.The .035” (0.09mm), .045” (1.2mm) and the 1/16” (1.6mm)diameters perform equally well on out-of-position joints.

Shield Bright X-tra — Flat and HorizontalShield-Bright X-tra was specially developed for highlycosmetic flat and horizontal weldments. The self-releasingslag and finely rippled bead resembles welds made withboth covered electrodes and mig wire. Deposition rates canexceed 19 lbs/hr. (8.6 kg/hr.). Diameters include .035”(0.9mm), .045” (1.2mm), and 1/16” (1.6mm).

Shielding GasesShield-Bright and Shield-Bright X-tra electrodes wereformulated for use with Argon mixtures up to 75% Argonshielding gas; however, straight CO2 may also be used. The75/25 mixture will produce a smoother arc with virtually nospatter and slightly higher yield and tensile strengths thanCO2. The mechanical properties and deposit analyses willmeet AWS A5.22 specifications with either gas.

Spoolarc® MIG Wires

The wide selection of MIG wires in the ESAB line insurethat a wire with the proper amount of deoxidizers isavailable for whatever your requirements might be.Spoolarc HI-DEP III wires have improved feedabilitybecause the wire surface is treated with a speciallubricant which minimizes wire feed forces. Columnstrength is 25% greater than conventional wires and thesurface copper is thin and tightly adherent —it won’t flake off.Copper to copper (instead of copper-to-steel) contactmeans far better current transfer, less arcing especially athigh currents resulting in longer contact tip life.Most of the data in this booklet are based on AWS testsperformed under laboratory conditions. That is why it isimportant to test the selected wire/gas combination in thesame joint and under the same conditions to be usedduring actual production.

ESAB HQ Aluminum (Al) TIG & MIGWiresAluminum Rods and Wires for TIGand MIG Welding

ESAB aluminum wires and rods are produced using themost advanced techniques of winding and packaging.The designation “HQ” means High Quality. These arewires giving consistently superior aluminum weld quality— wires which make it much easier to maintain desiredproduction.• For most weldable cast and wrought aluminum alloys• Easy-to-hold round cross sections• Proprietary final cleaning process minimizes

potential for weld porosity• Shaving process on HQ products means good feed-

ability, arc stability, and uniform weld penetration• Continuous casting process insures homogeneous wire

chemistry and gives consistent weld results• Manufactured in the U.S.A.

Description:Alloy 4047 was originally developed as a brazing alloy(BAISi-4) or (718) to take advantage of its low meltingpoint and narrow freezing range. In addition, it has ahigher silicon content than 4043, which provides forincreased fluidity and reduced shrinkage. The alloyproduces bright and almost smut free welds. Hot crackingis significantly reduced when 4047 is used as a filler alloy.The alloy may be used in applications of sustainedelevated temperatures.

Description:Alloy 5183 was originally developed in 1957 to providethe highest strengths possible in the as-welded conditionof Alloy 5083 and other similar high magnesium alloys.The more common filler alloy 5356 will typically fail tomeet the as-welded tensile specification requirements ofalloy 5083.

The alloy is typically utilized in marine and structuralapplications where high strengths, high fracture tough-ness for impact resistance, and exposure to corrosiveelements are important. The alloy is not recommended forelevated temperature applications due to its susceptibilityto stress corrosion cracking.

Code and Specification Data:ANSI/AWS A5.10 (ER & R)

Description:Alloy 5556 was first utilized in 1956. It develops thehighest as-welded strength in fillet welds and it is nearlydouble that of 4043.

The 5XXX series of alloys offer an excellent combinationof corrosion resistance, strength, toughness, workability,and weldability. As a result, they are used in a widevariety of applications. A characteristic of this series ofalloys, however is their susceptibility to stress corrosioncracking when the weld pool chemistry is greater than 3%magnesium and there is exposure to prolonged tempera-tures in excess of 150°F. Special alloys and tempers areoften required to overcome this problem. Contact ESABfor assistance in alloy/temper selection

DUAL SHIELD ® Flux Cored Wires

Dual Shield —Gas Shielded Flux Cored WiresDual Shield wires are of a tubular construction and gaintheir name by the fact that the arc is shielded from theatmosphere by both the shielding gas and the protectiveslag which forms over the weld as the wire is consumed.The required shielding gas may be either straight CO2 ora mixture of argon and CO2 as specified in the listingsthat follow. Dual Shield wires are available for welding awide variety of carbon and low alloy steels.

Description:Dual Shield R-70 Ultra is a low fuming flux cored wirewith a balanced chemistry that allows for a greatertolerance of mill scale and surface oxides than isnormally associated with an E70T-1 class of wire. The“Ultra” series produces smoother arc characteristics andlower welding fumes than other non-ultra types. Notchtoughness in the as welded condition is also improvedwith this wire. Bead contour is flat to slightly convex andslag coverage is complete.Dual Shield R-70 Ultra is a flux cored wire for single ormultipass applications on low or medium carbon steels.It is intended for use in the flat and horizontal positionswith CO2 shielding only. Areas of application includerailcar, heavy equipment, and general fabrication.

Description:Dual Shield 111-AC is a flux cored wire for single ormultipass operation on mild steel and on some low alloysteels. Dual Shield 111-AC has proven capabilities infabrication of bridges, pressure vessels, earth movingequipment, construction, shipbuilding and weldingpertaining to structural and nuclear codes. There is verylittle spatter when welded with balanced voltage andamperage. The thin slag cover removes easily. The weldbead appearance and easy operation make this wire anideal choice for general fabrication and repair.The steel should be reasonably clean and, for greaterefficiency, the work should be positioned so that thewelding is performed in the flat position.

Description:Dual Shield 70 Ultra Plus is an all-position wire that isuniquely designed to provide high deposition, outstand-ing all position performance and a fume emission rateapproaching that of solid wires. It is optimized for usewith 90% Ar/10% CO2 shielding but works well withmixes ranging from 75% Ar/25% CO2 to 95% Ar/5% CO2.Among the outstanding features of Dual Shield 70 UltraPlus are a very wide operating window, very high out ofposition deposition rates (vertical up and overhead atover 12 lb/hr), and welds that are virtually spatter free.Dual Shield 70 Ultra Plus may be used in a variety ofapplications including railcar, automotive, heavy equip-ment, and general structural steel fabrication. It isespecially recommended in applications where reduc-tion of welding fume is a priority.

Mild Steel Cored WiresDual Shield SPAWS Class E70T-2


Description:Dual Shield SP is a flux cored single pass wire especiallydeveloped for welds of good contour and soundnessregardless of the surface condition of the steel. Because ofhigh manganese and silicon content, cracking may occuron multipass welding. The arc behavior is smooth withrelatively little spatter. The slag is self-releasing while theweld bead appearance is excellent. Horizontal fillet weldsusually have equal leg lengths. The presence of mill scaleor rust on the steel does not adversely affect the appear-ance or soundness of welds made with this product.However in the absence of mill scale or rust in the weldarea, the deoxidizing elements in the core become alloyingelements, and the tensile strength of the weld metal mayincrease to more than 100 ksi (689 MPa).

Description:Dual Shield T-5 is a basic slag flux cored wire whichproduces crack resistant, highly ductile weld deposits.The small diameter wires, such as .045 & 1/16" (1.2 &1.6 mm) diameters can be used out-of-position. The arccharacteristics are globular but can be improved with theuse of argon mixtures.Dual Shield T-5 is especially recommended for mediumto heavy fabrication of a number of mild steels wheresuperior toughness and crack resistance are required. Itis a good choice for mild steel or when being joined toquenched and tempered low alloy high strength steels.The weld metal analysis is similar to an E7018 orE7018-1 low hydrogen electrode.

Shielding Gas: 75% Argon/25% CO2, 90% Argon/8% CO2/2% O2, or 100% CO2

Welding Procedure:This product should be run using a constant speed wirefeeder and a constant potential power source. DCEN(electrode negative) should be used when welding out-of-position. This reduces penetration and minimizes thesize of the puddle for optimum operator appeal. DCEP(electrode positive) should be used for flat and horizontalwelding. The result will improve weld quality and reduceweld metal deposit costs. Trimix is recommended forout-of-position welding; Argon/CO2 mixtures can beselected for least spatter and post weld clean up cost.

CORESHIELD ® Flux Cored Wires

Coreshield —Self-Shielded Flux Cored WiresCoreshield wires require no external shielding gas. Theshielding is generated by the core ingredients makingthese wires more suitable for outdoor operation. Theyare available for welding carbon steels and galvanizedsteels.Dual Shield and Coreshield wires are covered by AWSSpecification A5.20 and A5.29 on the following pages.

Self-Shielded Cored WiresCoreshield 40AWS Class E70T-4


Description:Coreshield 40 is a self-shielded flux cored wire primarilydesigned for multiple pass, horizontal and flat positionwelding of low and medium carbon steels when tough-ness is not a requirement. The larger sizes achieve veryhigh deposit rates for very low joining costs. The lowpenetration, convex fillet bead shape and ability for theslag to desulfurize the deposit make it an ideal choicewhen crack resistance is a primary consideration. Theflat position deposits are smooth and uniform with goodwetting into the side walls. The core ingredients arecarefully balanced to stabilize the droplet transfer,enhance the ability to handle mill scale and easily detachthe slag for quick cleaning.Coreshield 40 is designed to operate on DCEP (elec-trode positive) with longer electrical stickout. The longerextension increases the deposit potential by preheatingthe wire. The percent of the melt-off converted to fumes,although higher than Dual Shield wires, is reasonablylow and the fume can be removed at the source.

Code and Specification Data:AWS A5.20, ASME SFA 5.20CWB-CSA W48.5, E4802T-7

Description:Coreshield 7 flux cored wire is a self-shielded wiredesigned for single or multiple pass welding of mildsteel when impact toughness is not a requirement. Thehigh deposit rate can be successfully translated into fasttravel speeds. The DCEN (electrode negative) operationis characterized by a spray-like transfer and a wettingslag which make it ideal for lap and step-up fillet welds.The crumbly slag is easily removed with light scraping;the weld bead is slightly convex. The smaller diameterscan be applied vertically down on 10 gauge (3.4 mm)and thicker steels. Coreshield 7 is ideally suited forstructural steel applications.


Held @220°F (104°C)for 48 hrs.

COREWELD ® —Gas Shielded Metal Cored Wires

Coreweld wires have metal powders in the core whichgives them the high deposition rates of flux cored wiresand the high efficiency of solid wires. The only slagproduced by these wires are small silicon islandssimilar to those produced by solid wires.Argon-CO2 gas mixtures of 75% - 92% Argon/25% - 8%CO2 is the recommended shielding gas. Straight CO2may be used for some wires.Coreweld wires are now classified as composite wiresand are covered by AWS Specifications A5.18 for thecarbon or mild steel types and AWS Specification A5.28for the low alloy types as shown below.

Description:Coreweld 70 is a tubular wire containing ingredientsprimarily comprised of metal powder along with additionalarc stabilizers and alloying elements. The net result is ahigh efficiency (90 to 98%) wire.Arc characteristics, weld metal transfer, spatter levels areimproved, while silica islands are minimized with the use ofArgon mixtures up to 92% Argon.Due to the high level of iron powder and low slag compo-nents, the only slag formed by this wire are small islands ofsilica.Coreweld 70 wires are available in 0.035" (0.9 mm) through1/8" (3.2 mm) diameters. The small diameters up to 1/16"(1.6 mm) are capable of being welded out-of-position.Coreweld 70 was designed for multipass welding in roboticapplications where slag removal between passes isdifficult. This metal cored product is intended for use oncarbon steels having tensile strengths up to 70 ksi (483MPa).

UNIONMELT ® Submerged ArcFluxesSpoolarc® Solid Wires andALLOY SHIELD ® Composite Wires

The major function of a submerged arc welding fluxis to:• Shield the molten puddle from the atmosphere.• Clean and deoxidize the weld puddle.• Control the chemistry and mechanical properties of the

weld metal.

There are two major methods by which fluxes aremanufactured:

BONDED FLUXES are manufactured by dry mixing theflux ingredients and then bonding them together using aliquid silicate binder. The flux pellets are then baked at arelatively low temperature to drive off the water in thebinder. The major advantages of bonded fluxes are:

• The flux can contain metallic deoxidizers which providegood performance over rust and mill scale.

• The relatively coarse mesh size feeds easily due to itsuniform size.

• Bonded fluxes typically have a lower consumption rate.The use of bonded fluxes are not without limitation. Theyinclude:• Any removal of undersized particles during recycling

can change the overall chemical analysis of a bondedflux and consequently, change the performancecharacteristics of the flux.

• Segregation within the flux can occur, making someparticles richer or leaner in specific ingredients. This isparticularly critical if metals segregate, leading to hardspot formation within the weld metal.

• Bonded fluxes can pick up moisture if stored improp-erly. They must be baked at a temperature between500°-800°F (260°-427°C) to remove any suspectedmoisture.

FUSED FLUXES are manufactured by mixing the ingredi-ents together and then melting them in an electric furnaceto form a homogeneous liquid. The liquid flux is thencooled until solid and ground to a particular size suitablefor the intended use of the flux.The major advantages of fused fluxes include:• Because of the high processing temperature

(> 3000°F/1614°C), all components in the flux becomechemically combined. As a result, fused fluxes provide

GEN-26110_06.p65 7/10/01, 4:02 PM2

6-3

stable welding performance even at high current levels.• Fused fluxes will generally not pick up moisture;

surface moisture condensing on the flux particlesduring storage can be driven off by baking at a lowtemperature (300°F/40°C for 1 hr.).

• Since fused fluxes are pre-melted, they are extremelyhomogeneous and therefore, maintain consistentchemistry throughout the weld deposit.

• Fused flux slag may be crushed and re-used; however,this may result in a loss of operability or mechanicalproperties.

• Fused fluxes provide for the highest travel speeds inwelding.

The major disadvantage for using fused fluxes is:• They contain no metallic deoxidizers, therefore minimiz-

ing their tolerance to rust and mill scale.

Fluxes can be further classified as active or neutral:ACTIVE FLUXES are those fluxes that will cause asubstantial change in the weld metal chemistry whenwelding voltage (and consequently, the amount of fluxfused) is changed. Active fluxes generally add largeamounts of manganese and silicon to the weld metal andcause the weld strength to increase. If an active flux isused for multipass welding, excessive manganese andsilicon build-up can occur, causing the weld to be brittleand crack prone. Active fluxes should be limited in thenumber of passes, especially over rust and mill scale.• When an active flux is used for multipass welding, the

voltage must be carefully controlled to avoid excessivebuild-up of manganese and silicon. Active fluxesshould not be used to multipass weld plates morethan 1" (25 mm) thick.

NEUTRAL FLUXES are fluxes that will not cause asignificant change in the weld metal chemistry even withvariations of welding voltages. Neutral fluxes will notsignificantly affect the strength of the weld metal regard-less of the welding voltage used or the number of passes.As a rule neutral fluxes should be specified for multipasswelding.

WEAR-ARC™Covered Electrodes

IntroductionSurfacing is the application of wear-resistant alloys tometal parts subject to destructive wear caused byabrasion, impact, compression, heat, or corrosion. TheWear-Arc electrodes are designed for manual arc weldingfor surfacing parts. Two types of overlay alloys arerecommended to correct destructive wear patterns:

Buildup AlloysBecause hardsurfacing alloys are limited by maximumthickness of deposit, badly worn parts must be built upprior to depositing the wear-resistant material. Wear-Arc 3IP, Nickel Manganese, and WH are designed for buildupapplications.These alloys possess good deformation resistance andprovide a strong bond with the base metal. This helps toprevent roll-over or spalling and provides a sound basefor hardsurfacing.

Hardsurfacing AlloysHardsurfacing alloys are designed to provide maximumresistance to specific wear factors or combination of wearfactors. The performance of these alloys is in directrelation to the amount of carbide forming elementspresent in combination with carbon. The carbon reactswith the carbide forming elements—chromium, tungsten,molybdenum, etc.—creating hard carbides from which theoverlay material derives its wear resistance. Thesecarbides are evenly distributed in a matrix and as the ratioof carbides to matrix increases, abrasion resistanceincreases and toughness or ductility decreases.The chart on the following page shows the relative impactresistance or “ductility” and the abrasion or wear resis-tance of the Wear-Arc line.

Description:Wear-Arc 3 IP weld metal provides excellent resistanceto wear caused by heavy impact and compressive loads,and is most suitable as a base alloy for hardsurfacingoverlays.Wear-Arc 3 IP should be used where maximum machin-ability of a surface deposit is desired and as the finaloverlay. The ductility and compressive strength of Wear-Arc 3 IP weld metal is adequate for the wear problem ofmany applications. Typical applications are: steel millwobblers and coupling boxes, bearing journals, steel millroll necks and ends, forging hammer dies, and all carbonsteel parts requiring buildup prior to hardsurfacing.

Procedure:Wear-Arc 3 IP has superior welding characteristics in all positions.Because of the iron powder in the coating, higher current settingsmay be used than with conventional electrodes.

Code and Specification Data:AWS A5.13

Description:Wear-Arc Nickel Manganese weld deposit is crack resistantand forms a ductile, high-strength fusion bondon manganese steel. Under conditions of continuous impact,the deposit surface work hardens to a BHN of 510.Wear-Arc Nickel Manganese is best suited for applica-tions where severe impact and compressive forces areencountered continuously. Because of the sound, high-strength welds from this electrode, it should also be usedfor the attachment welding of wear plates, teeth, rounds,and shapes of manganese steel.

Procedure:Wear-Arc Nickel Manganese electrodes require nospecial technique of application. When welding manga-nese steel, these general recommendations should befollowed:

1. Weld only on sound, clean, unhardened base metal.2. The use of preheat on manganese steel is not

recommended. Avoid overheating the base metal byusing the lowest current which produces good metaltransfer and arc characteristics. Keep austeniticmanganese steel below 600°F (316°C), interpasstemperature.

Buildup AlloyHigh Strength, Manganese & Carbon Steels, AttachmentWelding, Severe Impact

Description:The weld deposit of Wear-Arc WH is high in alloy content,extremely deformation resistant, and has 2-4 timesgreater wear resistance than work-hardened austeniticmanganese steel. WH contains approximately 34% alloy,properly balanced to perform the dual purpose of a work-hardening, wear-resistant buildup alloy, and also a highstrength welding alloy. The alloy is austenitic and pro-duces tough, crack-resistant welds.Wear-Arc WH produces a dependable bond to manga-nese steel. Users of type 308, 309, 310, or 312 stainlesssteel electrodes for rebuilding and repair of equipmentconstructed of manganese steel find Wear-Arc WH to bea superior electrode for the job.Deposits of Wear-Arc WH, when subjected to high impactand compressive loads, develop a surface hardness of 48-50 Rockwell C and still retain a tough, resilient,deformation-resistant mass under the work-hardenedsurface.

Procedure:Wear-Arc WH electrodes are designed for welding withAC DCEP (Electrode Positive) in all positions. Whenwelding high-carbon steel, preheat to 300-400°F (149-204°C). Do not preheat manganese steel.Hold the electrode at an angle of 15° in the direction oftravel with as short an arc as possible without allowingthe coating to touch the weld pool. Stringer beads arepreferable. Weaving should be limited to 2-1/2 times theelectrode diameter. Slag should be cleaned thoroughlybetween passes.For vertical welding, the electrode should be held perpen-dicular to the plate using a very slight oscillation from sideto side on the root bead. When welding in the overheadposition, hold a short arc with no oscillation of theelectrode.Hardsurfacing Covered Electrodes

Hardsurfacing AlloyExtreme Abrasion & Medium Impact

Description:Wear-Arc 40 has a special core wire and the proper amountof alloys in the coating to produce a deposit of highlyabrasive resistant chrome carbides in a matrix of iron andchromium. The use of a special core wire gives much betterarc action and also allows the electrode to operate at highercurrent settings. Deposits resist galling and seizing, and takea high polish when subject to sliding abrasive action.Wear-Arc 40 is designed for use on steel mill twist guides,steel mill entry guides, wire guides, conveyor chain, andagricultural tools. This electrode also gives excellent serviceon certain crushing and quarrying equipment where highabrasive wear is the primary wear factor.This alloy has excellent hardness at constant temperaturesup to about 1000°F (538°C). In considering this alloy for aheat and abrasion application, a constant operating tempera-ture must be estimated. For example, a steel mill guide blocksurface with Wear-Arc 40 withstands exposure to intermittentcontact with hot billets of bars at temperatures of 1800-2000°F (982-1093°C). This is possible because sufficienttime elapses between contacts to prevent a high temperaturebuild-up.

Procedure:Wear-Arc 40 electrodes have good welding characteristics inflat and vertical-up positions. Weaving technique or stringerbeads may be used. Limit deposit thickness to two passes.


Typical Mechanical Properties:The weld metal deposit of Wear-Arc 40 cannot be forged atany temperature and does not respond to heat treatment.Weld deposits cannot be cut with oxy-acetylene torch or byair carbon-arc cutting.

Open Arc—Buildup AlloyWear Resistant—Attachment WeldingManganese and Low Alloy Steels

Description:Wear-O-Matic WH alloy is a dual purpose wire whichallows the use of the economic semiautomatic, open arcprocess for welding manganese to carbon steel and forbuildup applications involving severe impact or compres-sive loads. The high alloy content of this fabricated wire iscarefully balanced to perform this dual function, retainingthe high strength properties of a good attachment weldingmaterial while also serving as an excellent work-harden-ing, wear-resistant buildup material. The weld metal isaustenitic at room temperature.Wear-O-Matic WH alloy is typically used for the followingapplications because of the high tensile and yieldstrength:

Procedure:Wear-O-Matic WH is manufactured in 7/64" (2.8 mm)diameter, designed for semiautomatic, open arcapplication.Operation: Open Arc only—DCEP (Electrode Positive)Amperage: 225 to 300 amps, at 30-35 volts

Attachment Welding:Wear-O-Matic WH is suitable for production fabrication ofmanganese steel and alloy steel parts which formerlyrequired the use of a wire such as 308 stainless. Wear-O-Matic WH gives the user the added advantage ofsemiautomatic welding. The outstanding physical proper-ties of Wear-O-Matic WH weld metal are valuable in thefield maintenance attachment welding of dipper teeth,tractor grousers, blade replacements, rounds and flatsused as wear plates.

Calculating Filler MetalConsumption

The number of pounds of welding electrodes orwelding wire necessary to complete a given weld jointmay be calculated by the formula:

P = WLE

Where:P = Pounds of electrode or wire required

W = Weight per foot of weld metalL = Length of weld (feet)E = Deposition efficiency

Weight Per Foot of Weld MetalCalculating the weight of weld metal requires that weconsider the following items.

1. Area of the cross-section of the weld.2. Length of the weld.3. Volume of the weld in cubic inches.4. Weight of the weld metal per cubic inch.

In the fillet weld shown below, the area of the cross-section (the triangle) is equal to one half the base timesthe height, the volume of the weld is equal to the areatimes the length, and the weight of the weld then, is thevolume times the weight of the material (steel) per cubicinch.

This example is for a fillet weld with no reinforcement.Similar calculations can be made for butt or lap joints.

Deposition EfficiencyThe deposition efficiency of an electrode or welding wireindicates the portion of that product you can expect to bedeposited as weld metal. Losses due to slag, spatter,fume and in the case of semi automatic or automaticwelding processes, the ends cut before each weld andthe wire left in the feed cable make no process 100%efficient.

Weld Metal Cost WorksheetInstructionsTo help you quantify your specific cost of weld metaldeposited, ESAB has developed the weld metal costworksheet. These instructions will assist you in calculat-ing your specific cost to deposit weld metal whilecomparing it to alternative methods or product. Acompleted sample worksheet is located on page 8-7 anda blank worksheet (you can make copies and use it forfuture calculations) is located on page 8-14.

1. Indicate the complete descriptions of the proposed andpresent products at (1) and (2).

2. Secure the following information for the formulas (3), andwrite the data in the proper blanks in the proposed methodand present method columns (4).A. Labor and Overhead

Actual labor and overhead rate of your customer. If thisfigure is unknown, select a reasonable rate for your area.This figure will be the same in the proposed and presentmethod columns.

B. Deposition Rate in Pounds Per HourThe deposition rate is the actual weight of weld metalwhich can be deposited in one hour at a given weldingcurrent at 100% operating factor. In other words, it is theamount of weld metal which could be deposited in onehour if the welder could weld for a full hour withoutstopping.

C. Operating FactorOperating factor is the percentage of a welder’s workingday that is actually spent welding. It is the arc timedivided by the total hours worked multiplied by 100 andexpressed as a percentage. A 30% (.30) operating factormeans that only 30% of the welder’s day is actually spentwelding. If the customer’s operating factor is not known,assume a 30% operating factor for SMAW, and a 45%operating factor for semi-automatic GMAW and FCAW.For automatic GMAW and FCAW, an operating factor of60% to 80% may be assumed.

D. Electrode Cost Per PoundSelect the quantity price bracket in which the customernow purchases his filler metal. If unknown, select theprice bracket you think applicable and use for both thepresent and proposed calculations.

E. Deposition EfficiencyThe deposition efficiency is the relationship of theelectrode used to the amount of the weld metal depositedexpressed in percent, or:

DE = Weight of Weld Metal

Weight of Electrode Used.For instance, if it takes 4 lbs. of electrode to deposit3 lbs. (1.4 kg) of weld metal, E = 3/4 = .75 or 75%.

F. Gas Flow Rate (Cubic Feet/Hour)For GMAW with solid wires use a shielding gas flow rateof 25 to 30 cubic feet per hour. For small diameter fluxcored electrodes (1/16” or 1.6 mm diameter and under)

GEN-26110_08.p65 7/10/01, 4:02 PM8

8-9

use 35 cubic feet per hour. For large diameter flux coredelectrodes (5/64 and over) use 40-45 cubic feet per hour.

G. Gas Cost Per Cubic FootGas cost per cubic foot will vary depending on the type ofshielding gas being used and your location.

3. Complete the calculations in the “Proposed Method” and“Present Method” columns and record the calculated costs inthe blanks on the far right, (5) & (6) of each column.

4. Add the calculated cost and record the sums at the bottom, (7)& (8) of each column.

5. Subtract “Present Method” cost (6) from “Proposed Method”cost (5) for each of the sections titled “Labor & Overhead”,“Electrode”, and “Gas”. Enter the differences in the blanksindicated at right (5 minus 6). Negative numbers should beenclosed in parenthesis “( )”.

6. In the “Total Variable Cost/lb” section, subtract “PresentMethod” cost (8) from “Proposed Method” cost (7). Enter thedifference in the blank indicated as “Total”. Negativenumbers should be enclosed in parenthesis “( )”.

A (negative) number in “Total” represents the cost reduction you will realize as a

dollar saving per pound of weld metal deposited.7. The bottom section of the form will be useful if you must buy

new equipment to use the proposed product. That part of theform is self-explanatory with the exception of the “DEPOSI-TION FACTOR”. The deposition factor is simply thedeposition rate multiplied by the operating factor and isalready a part of the calculation as shown at (9) in the laborand overhead formula for the proposed method.
