7 Common FCAW Welding Mistakes and Defects

Flux-Cored Welding Techniques

Flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) offers many advantages, especially in outdoor environments and for welding thick materials. However, like any welding process, FCAW is prone to specific mistakes and defects that can affect the quality and strength of the weld. In this article, we’ll break down some of the most common FCAW welding mistakes and how…

Color Codes for TIG Welding Tungsten Electrodes

Filler Metals & Flux

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding relies heavily on choosing the right tungsten electrode, and color coding makes this easier. Each color represents a specific type of tungsten electrode, optimized for different welding materials and conditions. Importance of Tungsten Electrode Color Codes Tungsten electrodes are critical for TIG welding as they conduct the electrical current needed…
