Why use Flux Cored Welding?

• High-quality weld deposit with excellent appearance
• Can be used to join many types of metals over a wide thickness range
• Relatively high electrode efficiency and process duty cycle
• Excellent weld penetration simplifies joint design
• The arc is visible and easy to use
• Because of its greater tolerance for base plate contamination, Flux Cored Welding requires less pre-cleaning than MIG
• Deposition rate is up to four times greater than Stick Welding
• The use of self-shielded electrodes eliminates the need for flux handling or gas apparatus, and is more tolerant of windy conditions present in outdoor construction than gas-shielded processes
