CHARACTERISTICS line

WHAT IS FLUX CORED WELDING WIRE?

1）Classification System: The AWS A5.20 standard uses a specific code to classify flux-cored electrodes. For example, a classification like E71T-1 breaks down into several parts that describe the electrode's characteristics, including its tensile strength, welding position, and flux composition.

2）The "E" Prefix: The classification begins with the letter "E," which is a standard AWS designation for an electrode. This indicates that the product is a consumable filler metal intended for use in an arc welding process.

3）Tensile Strength: The first two digits, such as "71" in E71T-1, denote the minimum tensile strength of the deposited weld metal in thousands of pounds per square inch (ksi). "71" corresponds to a tensile strength of 70,000 psi (490 MPa).

4）Welding Position: The letter "T" in the classification, as in E71T-1, signifies that the wire is a tubular, flux-cored electrode. The number immediately following the "T" (e.g., the "1" in E71T-1) indicates the welding position for which the electrode is suitable. A "1" generally means the wire is capable of all-position welding.

5）Shielding Gas and Usability: The final letter or number in the classification provides crucial information about the wire's usability, flux type, and whether it requires an external shielding gas. For example, a -1 designation indicates a titanium oxide flux and that it requires an external shielding gas, typically 100% CO2 or a mixed gas like Argon/CO2. Other designations, such as a -GS, indicate a self-shielded wire that does not require an external gas.

6）Common Examples: A very common flux-cored wire is E71T-1C/M. The "C" and "M" suffixes indicate the type of shielding gas used: "C" for 100% CO2 and "M" for a mixed gas like 75% Argon/25% CO2. This wire is widely used for single- or multi-pass welding of mild and low-alloy steels in a variety of industries, including construction, shipbuilding, and pressure vessel fabrication.The AWS A5.20 specification is the American Welding Society's standard for classifying carbon steel electrodes for flux-cored arc welding (FCAW). This welding process uses a continuously fed tubular electrode with a flux core. The classification system provides detailed information about the wire's usability, mechanical properties, and the type of shielding it requires.

FLUX CORED WELDING WIRE FAQ

Q What is AWS A5.20 Flux Cored Welding Wire?

The **AWS A5.20** specification is the industry standard for classifying **carbon steel electrodes** used in **flux-cored arc welding (FCAW)**.
Unlike solid wires, these electrodes are tubular and contain a core of flux, which provides shielding gas and deoxidizers.
This standard ensures that all **flux-cored welding wires** meet specific quality and performance criteria, allowing welders to select the right consumable for their projects with confidence.
Understanding this classification system is crucial for achieving strong, reliable welds in various applications.
Q How is an AWS A5.20 wire classified?

The classification system uses a specific alphanumeric code to provide detailed information about the wire's characteristics.
A typical classification, like **E71T-1**, can be broken down to understand its properties, including the wire's tensile strength, welding position, and flux type.
This standardized approach makes it easy to identify the ideal **welding wire** for different base metals and welding environments.

What do the different parts of the classification code mean?

The "E" at the beginning stands for **electrode**, a standard designation for all AWS welding consumables.
The first two digits, such as "71" in **E71T-1**, indicate the minimum tensile strength of the deposited weld metal, in this case, 70,000 psi.
The letter "T" signifies that it is a **tubular, flux-cored electrode**.
The number or letter that follows, for example, the "1" in **E71T-1**, specifies the usability of the wire, including the required shielding gas and the welding position it can be used in.
Finally, an optional suffix may denote the type of shielding gas used, such as "C" for 100% CO2 or "M" for a mixed gas like Argon/CO2.
Q What are the main types of flux-cored welding wires?

Flux-cored wires are primarily categorized by their shielding method: self-shielded or gas-shielded.

What is self-shielded flux-cored wire?

Also known as **FCAW-S**, this type of wire is designed for use without an external shielding gas.
The flux core contains all the necessary ingredients to protect the weld pool from the atmosphere.
These wires, such as **E71T-11** and **E71T-8**, are ideal for outdoor welding and fieldwork where using a gas cylinder is impractical.
They produce a high-quality weld even in windy conditions, making them a popular choice for construction and general-purpose fabrication.

What is gas-shielded flux-cored wire?

Also known as **FCAW-G**, these wires are designed to be used with an external shielding gas, typically CO2 or a C25 mix.
The flux in the core provides additional deoxidizers and slag formers, which enhances the weld's mechanical properties and appearance.
Wires like **E71T-1** and **E71T-5** are known for their high deposition rates and excellent weld quality, making them suitable for heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, and pressure vessel manufacturing.
Q What are the advantages of using flux-cored welding wire?

Flux-cored welding offers several significant benefits over other welding processes.
Its high deposition rates allow for faster welding, which can lead to increased productivity.
The process is also more forgiving on dirty or rusted surfaces, as the flux can handle impurities effectively.
Furthermore, the self-shielded variants are highly portable and perform exceptionally well in outdoor conditions, which is a major advantage for construction and field repairs.
These benefits make **FCAW** a versatile and widely used process in modern fabrication.
