Flux Core Arc Welding

Continuous-fed, self- or gas-shielded electrode welding built for speed and consistency in confined, awkward, and out-of-position joints.

Overview

High-speed welding for demanding access

Flux Core Arc Welding employs continuous-fed consumable electrodes with a constant-voltage power source, enabling both automated and semi-automated operation. The flux core of the electrode generates a self-shielding or gas-shielded barrier that protects the puddle, allowing our welders to work efficiently in restricted spaces where other processes struggle.

That combination of speed and shielding flexibility makes FCAW especially effective on complex equipment and specialized construction projects where joint geometry limits access — without sacrificing consistent, high-quality weld deposits.

  • Continuous-fed consumable electrode with constant voltage
  • Self-shielded or gas-shielded flux-cored wire
  • High welding speed with consistent bead quality
  • Effective in tight, awkward-access spaces

How It Works

How an FCAW joint is made

A flux-shielded, continuous-feed process built for demanding access.

1

Electrode & Equipment Setup

Flux-cored wire and shielding method (self- or gas-shielded) are selected for the joint.

2

Arc Establishment

A constant-voltage arc is struck between the continuous electrode and the workpiece.

3

Flux Shielding

The electrode's flux core generates a protective shielding barrier around the arc.

4

Continuous Wire Feed

Wire feeds continuously into the puddle, sustaining high deposition rates.

5

Slag Removal & Bead Inspection

Slag is removed and the completed bead is inspected for consistency and quality.
