What is SMAW process?

SMAW stands for Shielded Metal Arc Welding. This process uses electrodes with flux coating, which release gases to surround the weld metal, thereby preventing oxidation.


What do mean by flux and slag?

In (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding 'stick welding': Flux is the substance added to to molten metals to bond with impurities that can be readily removed. Slag is the waste material which is removed.


The two types of welds are?

TIG uses tungsten in a gun and electricity to melt the material, the user must manually add filler rod. Needs shielding gas Mig uses a gun, but the filler rod flows out of the gun. Electricity flows from tip of wire into material. needs shielding gas except with flux-cored wire. SMAW uses pre fluxed electrodes. electricity flows trough electrode holder, into material when material is scraped by electrode. No shielding gas. Oxy-fuel. Flame welding. Oxygen and a fuel (acetylene, propane, mapp, etc.) are mixed in a torch, ignited, and used to melt material. filler wire is manually added. There are more indepth explanations, and advanced machines, but that is the basics.


What filler metal is used to weld monel 400 to Inconel?

MONEL alloy 400 is readily joined by conventional processes and procedures. Most of the conventional welding processes may be used to join MONEL alloy 400 to itself or dissimilar alloys. The choice of welding product is dependent upon the materials being joined and the environment to which they will be exposed. For shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), MONEL Welding Electrode 190 is used to deposit near-matching composition weldments. For some applications, Nickel Welding Electrode 141, INCO-WELD A Welding Electrode, or INCONEL Welding Electrode 112 may be preferred. Properties of weldments deposited with MONEL Welding Electrode 190 between two sections of MONEL alloy 400 plate and between sections of alloy 400 and carbon steel plate are shown in Tables 20 and 21. For gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and gas metal arc welding (GMAW), MONEL Filler Metal 60 is used to deposit near-matching composition weldments. For some applications, Nickel Filler Metal 61 or INCONEL Filler Metal 625 may be preferred. These same filler metals may be used for submerged arc welding (SAW). INCOFLUX 5 is used with MONEL Filler Metal 60. INCOFLUX 6 is used with Nickel Filler Metal 61. INCONEL Filler Metal 625 is used with INCOFLUX 7.
