Flux core welding Course with OHSTraining – Flux core welding training in South Africa now available with OHSTraining. Flux core welding is one of the most important basic course in welding technology course.

Most employers requires this type of training before one can become certified as an industrial welder. Flux core welders are used to create strong welds on thin material that cannot withstand the heat of conventional welding methods or where the joint design is not conducive to those welding methods.

Flux core welding Training is the process used to join metallic components by melting and filler metal. Flux is generated by an electric arc between the base material and the filler metal. The filler metal is melted by the heat generated by the arc (the key component in this process), which causes it to enter into the joint, or weld pool, created between the base material and the electrode.

Flux core offer types are as follows:

Flux-cored arc welding Currently, this is the most commonly used welding process worldwide. It involves the use of a direct current electrode so that an arc can be established between it and the work piece.

The wire feeder continuously supplies electrode wire that is typically between 0.8mm and 2.0mm in diameter, depending on its composition.

Flux-cored wires can be made with solid wire core or one that is hollow, which is often referred to as a semi-solid or self-shielded flux-cored wire.

Semi-solid wires provide protection from oxidation while still having enough solid core to be able to join materials such as thick sections and pipes with minimum electrode deflection.

When using semi-solid wires for pipe welding, they should only be used with a spray, or full pre-flow technique, while following a step technique should be used with solid core wires.

Flux core welding is a great introduction to the world of welding which uses an electric arc to forge an unbroken path of metallic bond between two separate pieces of base metals. Flux core welding training in South Africa is a cost-effective and time-efficient method of joining aluminum and steel components together. The process starts with the creation of a pool of molten material, or “flux,” that then serves as a conduit that joins the two metallic pieces.

What is Flux core welding?

Flux core arc welding is a non-consumable, self-shielded, flux cored electrode that is used for welding thin section materials. It is used to perform all the same functions that are expected of an un-coated wire electrode, but it can be used in applications where the use of an un-coated electrode would cause problems due to the heat affected zone of the weld.

Manufacturers of Flux cored electrodes produce special flux cored wires for all positions, Commonly used positions are the horizontal, vertical up and vertical down. Flux core electrode is made from a thin strip of metal called a tube which is composed of a metal alloy covered with an insulation material.

The insulator material is designed to hold a controlled amount of powdered flux usually composed of Boron and Iron Oxide. The thin tube is welded to a copper wire lead at one end. The metal alloy tube is available in various different shapes and sizes depending on the manufacturer and the position that it was designed to be used in.

Flux core welding is a type of shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) that uses an electrode covered in flux to protect the molten weld puddle from atmospheric contamination. The weld area has contained atmosphere shield gas (usually carbon dioxide (CO²), but sometimes argon (Ar)) around it to prevent atmospheric gases from diffusing through the molten weld puddle. Shield gas is also used for this purpose in gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), but flux cored wire has no tungsten electrode; instead the flux coating is burned off during the welding process. Flux cored arc welding is similar to gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW, or tungsten inert gas welding) in that both use filler metal covered by flux; however, GTAW uses tungsten as the shielding material.
