HOW TO CHOOSE WELDING WIRE?

In order to choose the right welding wire, first of all, the question must be asked - What material will be welded? Knowing the answer, you can find the most suitable welding wire! In the farm, workshop, production, various materials are used, such as - ordinary carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, etc.

Welding materials can be divided into several groups - carbon steel, stainless and aluminum. With ordinary steel, everything is clear. Ordinary, popularly called "black steel" welds without complications. We choose welding wire with low carbon content.

Stainless steel - welding wires are selected according to metal grades (308L, 309L, 312L, 316L, 318L, etc.). Of course, metal brands can have different designations, applying different standards. EN ISO 14343-A and AWS/ASME SFA-5.9 are more commonly used in Europe. Popular and high-quality welding wire manufacturers in the world usually indicate the designations of several standards on the package, which makes it easier for the welder to understand what material the wire is intended for.

Aluminum welding is recommended to be divided into two large groups. Casting AlSi - an aluminum body for a part, for example, a car engine body. The second group, AlMg, includes aluminum plates, tubes (everything that is not cast). Mg-Al alloys are the most widely used, they are also called magnesium alloys. Mg alloys have moderate strength, relatively high plasticity, relatively high corrosion resistance and low cost. Examples in designations: AlMg 3-ER5754, AlMg 5-ER5356, AlMg 4.5 Mn-ER5183, AlMg 4.5 Mn Zr-ER5087. Aluminum alloys with Si as the main alloying element form a class of materials that provide the most important part of all materials produced by casting. These alloys have a wide range of applications in the automotive and aerospace industries due to their excellent combination of castability and mechanical properties, as well as good corrosion and wear resistance. Examples in designations: AlSi 5-ER4043, AlSi 12-ER4047.

How to choose a welding wire manufacturer?

This question is always relevant. In different situations and circumstances, the choice may be different. A wide spectrum is available in European countries with different welding wire manufacturers. The choice of price and quality is huge. To answer the question "which welding wire should I buy?" It is necessary to firmly understand what we will weld. Is the construction to be welded one of the most responsible? Will the weld seam be durable and not endanger the environment and the people around. If these questions are positive, it is clear to choose a welding wire manufacturer with high quality and a recognizable brand. If the structure is not load-bearing and responsible, it is also possible to choose a supplier that is cheaper in terms of costs. In the Industar store, you will find an offer of welding wire manufacturers of wide application and price range.

REMEMBER! Choosing the right type of steel welding wire is important to achieve a quality and durable weld. Some welding wire choices depend on the welding equipment the welder uses or the welding method used.

GOOD TO KNOW! Welding wires are divided into: solid and powder wires. Continuous welding wires require a shielding gas to protect the seam from the environment during welding. Powdered wires are divided into two types: using shielding gas and without gas. There can also be a different wire filling - metal, rutile, or some additional alloying element to give the seam some properties, such as wear resistance.

ON THE GAS! Shielding gas for welding is selected according to the type of welding and welding material, wire. More often, a mixture of Ar and CO2 (MISSON 18) is used for MIG/MAG welding of low-carbon steel. When welding aluminum, pure argon or helium.
