When an arc is struck between the flux coated electrode and the workpiece, both the core wire and the workpiece surface melt to form a weld pool. Simultaneous melting of the flux coating on the rod will form gas and slag which protects the weld pool from the surrounding atmosphere. The slag will solidify and cool and must be chipped off the weld bead once the weld run is complete (or before the next weld pass deposit).
Castolin has developed the special EutecTrode alloy range of low heat input electrodes for industrial wearfacing, repair and joining applications supported by a complete high quality, MMA welding equipment range based on latest technology.
