Flux-cored welding wires for stainless steels

BHLER WELDING flux-cored wires combine the outstanding welding characteristics of BHLERs rutile stick electrodes with the productivity advantages of GMAW wires. BHLER WELDING flux-cored wires provide a powerful penetrating arc that deposits a smooth weld with minimum spatter formation. Additionally, precise alloy adjustments ensure high quality welds with excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. To guarantee optimum weld metal chemistry and homogeneity all wires are manufactured utilizing austenitic stainless steel sheaths and agglomerated flux infills. During manufacturing, an automatic system constantly monitors production ensuring that the flux fill is uniformly distributed throughout the entire length of the wire. All wires are manufactured to DIN EN ISO 9001 quality system.

General benefits

BHLER stainless steel flux-cored welding wires offer a large tolerance window for welding parameters. The wire enters the spray transfer mode typically from appr. 125 Amps. 22 Volts (for 1.2 mm (0.045) wire, Ar/CO2 gas mixture and at 100 Amps, 23 Volt for 0.9 mm (0.035) wire) and produces a powerful penetrating arc that deposits a smooth spatter free weld metal. Welding parameters are consequently easy to set up. Unintentional operator changes to the welding settings can normally be tolerated without loss of quality. This results in excellent overall wire performance with reliable and consistent weld quality. This also reduces the risk of weld defects and associated repair work costs.

Solid wire 1.2 mm (0.045) The narrow arc causes deep finger penetration which can give rise to lack of side wall fusion defects. As shown above, the bottom plate is hardly fused.

Flux-cored wire 1.2 mm (0.045) Good root penetration and wetting characteristics with particularly high productivity on ceramic backing.

Flux-cored wire 1.2 mm (0.045) The wide arc provides uniform deep penetration with good side wall fusion and smooth weld profile.

BHLER stainless flux-cored wires produce weld metal with excellent bead appearance. The weld deposit is radiographically sound and spatter free with good wetting characteristics. The slag protects the weld pool from oxidation and is easily removed to reveal a smooth weld profile that requires minimum post weld cleaning.

Weld cladding welded with BHLER CN 23/12 Mo-FD (1st layer) and BHLER EAS 4M-FD (2nd layer). This is an ideal application for stainless steel flux-cored wires due to their uniform ferrite levels and optimum corrosion resistance.

Cored wires have a wider arc column than solid wires. Therefore they operate with very safe penetration. The risk of lack of side wall fusion is minimized compared to solid wire welding even when the torch is slightly misdirected due to lack of welder concentration. 6

Cost saving potentials

In practical terms, the areas in which considerable economies can be realized in welding will usually be restricted to

Your time saving

Most significant savings in time can be realized in positional welding when compared to pulse GMAW using solid wires. BHLER PW-wires provide, for instance, welding of vertical up welds in half the welding time in comparison to using pulse GMAW. Productivity gains of 20 to 50% can be obtained compared with GMAW using solid wires in the flat and horizontal welding position.

the selection of a more efficient welding process (deposition rate, lbs or kg/hr) mechanisation (increasing the effective arc-time) reduction of welding downtimes (grinding, slag and spatter removal, pickling, repair rates etc.)

Cost comparison
While solid wires usually cost less than flux-cored wires it is the overall total welding costs of the finished component that needs to be taken into consideration. Flux-cored wires offer benefits that greatly reduce the overall welding costs, particularly in such areas as postweld cleaning, pickling, etc. which are often overlooked.

Apart from submerged arc welding, GMAW with flux-cored wire is the most productive welding process. The reason for this is the high current density (A/mm2). The current is mainly being conducted through the metal strip, which represents a smaller cross sectional area than solid wires. This in turn results in a resistance heating effect, which causes the wire to melt faster and thus yields higher deposition rates and increased productivity. The overall result being a reduction in welding time and consequently a saving on the main cost which is labor. BHLER WELDING Flux-CoredWelding Wires

Lower shielding gas consumption

Stainless steel flux-cored wires are welded using the commercially available shielding gases Ar and 15-25% CO2 or 100% CO2. The gas flow rate is the same as when welding solid wires using Ar and 2% CO2. This has a very positive influence on arc stability, producing a fine, spatter-free droplet transfer with safe penetration. There is no carburization or burn-off of elements with an oxygen affinity, such as chromium, which would be unacceptable for corrosion reasons. This is assured due to the fact that each single metal droplet transfered in the arc is completely covered with slag thus preventing any reaction with the shielding gas. The cost benefits to the user result from lower gas costs as well as lower gas consumption due to shorter welding time.

Additional process benefits

Excellent suitability for mechanized welding. Conventional MIG/MAG welding machines are adequate for welding flux-cored welding wires. Ease of handling and troublefree processing make training and re-testing of the welders easier while at the same time maintaining and improving quality assurance aspects. Better accessibility e.g. in single-bevel T-butt welds as a result of welding with longer stick out compared to solid wire. Multi-pass weldability. Very low temper coloration on the weld surface easily removed by brushing plus good wetting and self-releasing slag render multipass welding

easier compared with solid wire especially in CrNi(Mo) steels with a higher chromium content. In addition, the amount of pickling required always remains low regardless of the number of passes. Ideal for partial welds and tack welds. Reduced storage requirement The most common wire diameter of 1.2 mm (0.045) may be used universally for wall thicknesses above 3 mm (1/8) thick with current intensities between 130 A to 280 A and spray-arc welding. In addition to this, there is 0.9 mm (0.035) for sheet metal, as well as the highly efficient PW-type for positional welding also in diameter 1.2 mm (0.045). Use of the 1.6 mm (1/16) dimensions is primarily useful to special applications in the current intensity range 280 350 A.

General
Dependent on the characteristics of the welding machine optimum parameter setting can vary accordingly. Recommended shielding gases are Ar and 15 - 25% CO2 or 100% CO2. (When using 100% CO2 it is necessary to increase the welding voltage by 2 V!). The gas flow rate should be 15 - 18 l/min (32 - 38 cubic feet/hr). The wire stick-out should be 15 - 25 mm (19/32 - 1) when welding 1.2 - 1.6 mm (0.045 - 1/16) wires and 12 - 20 mm (1/2 - 25/32) when welding 0.9 mm (0.035) wires. Adequate fume extraction is recommended as always when welding stainless steels. Rebaking: 150C (300F), if necessary! BHLER WELDING Flux-Cored Welding Wires 13

Other brochures about BHLER WELDING welding consumables are available in several languages for selected industries and applications. You will receive more information from the BHLER WELDING sales partners or on the internet at www.boehler-welding.com/english/brochures.htm

The specifications in regard to the type and application of our products are only for the users information. The data specified for the mechanical properties always refer to the weld metal alone under observance of the applicable standards. In the weld joint, the weld metal properties are influenced, among other factors, by the parent metal, the welding position and

the welding parameters. A guarantee of suitability for a certain type of application requires an explicit written agreement in each individual case. Subject to modifications.
