2, cast wire
Some alloys, such as cobalt-chromium tungsten alloy, not forging, rolling and drawing, and made of casting methods. It is mainly used for manual welding of the workpiece surface, in order to meet the anti-oxidation, abrasion and high temperature corrosion-resistant special performance requirements. Continuous casting and liquid extrusion can be manufactured up to a few meters of cobalt-chromium tungsten wire, used to automatically fill in the wire tungsten gas shielded arc welding, in order to improve the welding efficiency and quality of surfacing layer, while improving working conditions. Cast iron welding is sometimes cast wire.
3, Welding Flux
With a thin steel strip coils into a round or shaped steel tubing, filled with a certain composition of the powder, made by the pull slit flux cored wire, or steel pipe to fill the powder pull made of seamless flux cored wire (see photo). Welding with this wire deposited high efficiency, good adaptability on the steel, the trial period is short, and therefore its use and the use of expanding. This wire for CO2 gas shielded welding, submerged arc and electroslag welding. The powder composition is generally in the flux-cored wire electrode drug skin. Containing slag, made the composition of gas and stable arc flux cored wire welding without shielding gas, said the self-shielded flux cored wire, suitable for large welded structure works. Asked the city gas shielded flux cored wire had already started to develop as early as in the early 1950s, but by 1957, is widely used commercially. This method can be said from the submerged arc welding and CO2 welding (referring to solid), the advantages of a combination of flux wrapped in wire and by external CO2 gas protection allows welding to produce a soft and stable arc and low spatter of its features. Early stage of development, only a large wire diameter wire (2.0-4.0mm), for the material of the workpiece flat welding and horizontal welding. Small wire diameter wire up to 1972 began to develop only greatly expanded the areas of flux cored wire. Self-shielded flux cored gas shielded flux cored asked the city will soon be developed, but also be industry wide recognition on a specific purpose. The biggest difference between the two points in the second unit would have been stated, this unit will make the whole discussion. 2, flux cored wire manufacturing flux cored wire manufacturing process control is very strict to ensure that the filler metal from the steel skin material and the flux contained in the ingredients, manufacturing before the size and chemical composition are required to check the quality. Welding consumables internal space is restricted, the flux particle size is more important, the formation of particles similar to Bird's Nest-like combination of constituent elements is uneven flux. Most of the flux cored wire by a flat sheet metal strip into a U-shaped cross section, paragraph by paragraph, after the roll volume and granular flux fill the U-shaped metal tank volume steps and then the final seal roll flux tightly roll pressure in a tubular wire rolled into a tubular wire after a series of pull movements become final wire diameter, this pulling action can also be filled flux uniform fixed in the welding the Sipi material within. Manufacturing / production process wire internal control caused by poor part of the wire formed hollow (no flux) is the key to the flux cored wire production quality. Wire surface also need smooth ride and clean otherwise it will affect the smooth wire feed and welding current pass fast. Welding wire packaged in rolls or barrels in order to avoid wire entanglement or impairment, usually rolls of wire are plastic encapsulation and place the desiccant to avoid material moisture, encapsulation materials and then into the cardboard box sent. Section in the skin material is thicker and more for docking (BUTT,) mode welding dose less, the vast majority of carbon steel and low alloy steel, wire diameter 2.8mm and below are the cross section of such a shape, such as stainless steel high- alloy and wire diameter is large, domestic demand and a larger space of wire inclusive cross sectional shape of flux and alloying elements into a multi-spliced ??or heart-shaped (LAP and the HEART SHAPED) connector. 3, the characteristics of flux cored wire: As mentioned earlier the flux cored wire to highlight a number of favorable characteristics of the welding method, for example, the flux part of the play with coated electrode can improve the function of the filler metal chemical composition and mechanical. Production efficiency, there are gas shielded metal arc welding and submerged arc welding characteristics. Flux cored wire for carbon steel, low alloy high-tensile steel, high strength quenched and tempered steel, stainless steel and wear-resistant hard surface cover such as steel of welding. Flux cored wire is a promising new type of welding materials, and increasing domestic flux cored wire types and rates in recent years. Compared to solid wire, flux cored wire has the following advantages and disadvantages. (1) advantages: 1) a variety of steel welding flux composition and proportion of the adaptable adjustment is very convenient and easy, you can provide the required weld chemical composition. 2) the process performance, candle seam forming a beautiful and air residue joint protection, get a good forming. Add to arc stability agent so that the arc stability, uniform droplet transition. 3) cladding speed, high production efficiency in the same welding current, the current density of the flux cored wire melting speed, the deposition rate of about 85% -90%, productivity is about 3-5 times higher than SMAW. 4) can be larger welding current, all-position welding. (2) Disadvantages 1) 2) welding wire manufacturing process, the wire feed than the solid wire difficult 3) wire appearance easily corroded powder easy to absorb moisture, so the flux cored wire to hold a management requirements more stringent 3.1, the flux composition functions: play with the coated electrode, flux cored wire manufacturers of the flux ingredients are the property of their unique formulation, with the welding consumables applicable to the function of flux composition is also different. The basic function of the flux composition is outlined as follows: (1) oxygen scavenger and nitrogen getter nitrogen and oxygen can make the weld metal caused by pores or embrittlement, the flux must be added to the oxygen scavenger such as manganese and silicon, as to protect the drug core wire, flux is also required to add the AL for the nitrogen removal agent. Above add a deoxidizing agent in addition to nitrogen agents aimed at the purification of the filler metal. (2) The welding slag formation agent calcium, potassium, sodium or silicon are welding slag forming agent added in the flux can effectively protect the weld pool from atmospheric pollution, welding slag can weld props better appearance and rapid cooling can support the full posture welding bath. Welding slag coverage will ease the filler metal cooling rate, this feature is especially important on the low alloy steel. (3) arc stabilizer sodium and potassium can make the arc to maintain a soft and smooth but also reduces splashing. (4) the addition of the alloying elements molybdenum, chromium, carbon, manganese, nickel and vanadium alloying elements can be improved (improve) the filler metal strength, ductility, hardness and toughness. (5) the formation of gas the agent fluorspar, limestone, etc. need to add in the combustion to produce a protective gas shielded flux cored wire manipulation. Flux component of 3.2 welding slag category determines the mechanical welding consumables welding workability and filler metal, acid-based in terms of the flux composition, welding is generated after the acidic welding slag, the same alkaline (calcareous) flux Lord produce alkaline welding slag. Acidic consumables weldability is very good, smooth and stable arc welding process, morphologically similar jet arc, spatter less homework widely welding personnel like filler metal machinery common but up to AWS specification requirements. The filler metal flux welding consumables for the basic system can make very good ductility and toughness, workability than acidic Department worse. Droplet transition-based, multi-ball drop transition splash more. In recent years, the development of low alloy steel welding consumables, welding flux blend of acidity Department of operating alkaline Department of fine mechanical. 4 cold, EDM wire EDM coating cold welding wire used in the normal condition of surfacing or welding, weld up the second feature is the wire temperature does not exceed 40 degrees Celsius, and are more for continuous welding is not ultra-high 80 degrees Celsius. Mainly used for the repair of some heat-resistant parts, welding stoppage time, temperature controlled at 40 degrees Celsius, the wall thickness of 0.4-0.5 mm, the maximum is not higher than 100 degrees Celsius. Wire welding caught with the same heat-affected zone is very small, does not produce internal stress. Very suitable for casting defects, parts of the surface strain, wear, mold defect repair. Why such a low wire temperature, because the wire melting state of the micro-melting in contact with the workpiece by the external forces soon formed a small portion of short mobile workpiece up, melting less, compared to the much larger workpiece. The temperature is quickly dissipated. The wire temperature is not rising to the whole of its redness, super anti-red capability. Compared with ordinary wire, if the duration is too long, there will be a serious red wire, black solder phenomenon. Even be capable of welding, welding repair, and prone to oxidation, the dregs, not higher welding phenomenon, and affect its subsequent processing.

Not long ago, after a pre-technological properties, mechanical properties and wire deposited metal and other tests, Baoji Petroleum Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. developed the X80 girth weld wire, the performance can meet the standard requirements, the trial is successful.
Pipeline girth weld wire belonging to the high-end products in the pipeline  Welding Wire consumables. November 5, 2009, the company included in the X80 girth weld wire project West-East Gas Pipeline Project study two major projects, shared R & D task by Baoji Steel Corporation and the China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau.
 The test wire deposited metal test is extremely difficult. Gas shielded wire energy is small, the depth of weld penetration, and multi-layer multi-pass welding, filling nearly 70 in the narrow groove weld, it is easy to produce welding defects. As long as there is a weld problems, have all polished off. Sometimes continuous welding for a week, even a qualified deposited metal test panels are not completed. The group members all day long soak in the laboratory to look into the problem, find a cause, and finally the wire mechanical properties meet the standard requirements.
 To wire process performance test, the project team members went twice the Langfang Pipeline Bureau, Institute of Science and Technology, after nearly a month of debugging process, the successful Welding Electrode of qualified weld. Wire test report developed by Baoji Steel X80 girth weld wire excellent welding performance, arc stability, all-position operating performance and weld good, good girth weld appearance, the film qualified, to meet Q/SY-GJX0110 West second-tier line welding of pipeline engineering technical specifications.
Pipeline girth weld wire belonging to the species of high value-added consumables, pipeline construction site, basically a few companies of foreign products, and wire prices higher. The localization of the X80 ring weld wire will break the monopoly of foreign enterprises, to meet the building needs of the domestic high-grade steel pipe.
