What type of filler material is used for mild steel?

ER70S-6 is a very common filler metal when welding with Gas Metal Arc Welding or Gas Tungsten Arc Welding on a low carbon steel (mild steel). This can be purchased as a spool or in rod form.


What is a welding filler ER 90SB2?

ER 90SB2 is a type of welding filler metal used primarily for joining high-strength steels. The designation "ER" indicates that it is an electrode rod suitable for use in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). The "90" signifies its strength level, while "SB2" indicates specific chemical compositions and mechanical properties tailored for applications requiring high toughness and strength. This filler is commonly used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and automotive, where strong and durable welds are essential.


How many welding and joining processes are available commercially?

There are numerous commercially available welding and joining processes, with the most common ones including arc welding, MIG (metal inert gas) welding, TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding, resistance welding, and laser welding. Additionally, processes like spot welding, electron beam welding, and friction welding are also widely used in various industries. The choice of process often depends on factors such as the materials being joined, the desired strength of the joint, and production efficiency. Overall, the diversity of welding and joining methods enables tailored solutions for specific applications across different sectors.

What is a Siamese welding hose?

A Siamese welding hose is a specialized type of flexible hose used in welding applications, consisting of two separate channels bundled together. One channel typically carries oxygen, while the other carries acetylene or other fuel gases, allowing for simultaneous delivery of both gases to the torch. This design enhances safety and convenience by reducing the number of hoses needed and minimizing the risk of mixing gases. Siamese hoses are commonly used in gas welding and cutting processes.

What type of gas is used or welding?

It depends on what welding process is being used and what type of metal is being welded. When Oxy-Fuel Welding, Acetylene is the most popular. MAPP gas and Propane are also used. With the GMAW (MIG) process Argon, CO2 and Oxygen gasses, in mixtures or alone, are used. GTAW (TIG) gasses are almost always Argon and/or Helium. This is not all inclusive as new processes are being developed every day. Check with your welding material supplier for relevant info.
