What is Flux Cored Seamless Technology?

Seamless cored wires are among the latest in welding wire technology, resulting in multiple advantages to both the operator and end user. As illustrated in the diagram below, the metal strip is first folded to a round tube, joined by high frequency welding process, then drawn down to the filling diameter. The tube is then filled with agglomerated flux by a vibration system, ensuring consistency of the flux throughout the welding wire. After this process is complete, the wire is then annealed, drawn down to final diameter and put through a copper shealth coating process. The end result is a completely sealed flux cored wire, with extreme resistance to moisture absorption, both when in storage and also when in use.

1. Strip material 2. Manufacturing tube from solid strip using HF welding 3. Recrystalisation annealing and calibration to filling diameter 4. Manufacturing agglomerated flux and filling of the tube by vibration 5. Pre-drawing and annealing of tube 6. Drawing to final dimension and copper coating 7. Spooling of wire

Features and Benefits of Seamless Cored Wired • Very low content of diffusible hydrogen • AWS H4/EN ISO HS Classifications • No moisture absorption during handling and storage • Reduced tendency to hydrogen induced weld cracking • Excellent wire feeding even at high speeds • Does not require knurled rollers • Copper coated to optimise conductivity • Excellent operator appeal featuring single parameter all positional capabilities

What is Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC)?

Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC) is a common type of weld failure, caused by the introduction of hydrogen or moisture into the weld material. The transfer of the hydrogen is normally through the flux component of the welding wire or welding electrode. HIC does not always occur immediately after the weld process is complete, often it will occur once the weld has returned to ambient temperature.

The effect of HIC is normally a costly rework procedure. This will consist of either grinding back or gouging out the faulty weld, then re-doing the welding process.
