For Those Who Enjoy A Lot Of Welding

admin

Here's a couple of pics from a project a while back. We made a few of these for a coal fired electricity plant. Glad i'm just a fitter & not a full time welder these days.

Reply:I've never seen flux core welding in the field....ever. I hear folks talk about it, but I have never seen it. I don't know if my refinery is behind times or the old school folks just don't wanna give up stick or what...

Reply:fluxcore is very good, thin to big metal.
Reply:We use dual shield fluxcore to weld most of our projects. Attached Images
Reply:dual shield in the shop is skookum, but having to use it in the field can be a pain.  A lot of times, it is way simpler to just smaw it!Even then, one vessel shop I worked in welded vessels mainly with subarc and smaw.Last edited by mb_welder; 11-03-2010 at 01:15 AM.
