info on flux core welding

by bucky

I work for a steel mill service company and we do maintenance on slag pots using .120 innershield wire. The cracks we weld up are 4 inches deep and its mild steel. What is a good recommended wire speed and heat setting to help prevent cracks from forming after the weld is complete?

----------------------------------------------------

Lincoln nr203 nickel or some other wire with some nickel content should help prevent cracking.

also , a good preheat goes a long way in preventing cracks from forming as the weld cools

CONVERSION NEW
by: Benjamin .k,


is it possible to convert from a different manufacturing welding product code into another?

Example:

CODE MINING FLUXCOREwire DIAMMETER HRC
DLQ212 shovelteeth 1.2mm-1.6mm 50-60

convert the above diameter into say, NR 212 OR NR 311 Lincoln fluxcore wire.

Many thanks

Ben
