  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOW-MANGANESE WELDING WIRE
    Publication number: 20130313240
    Abstract: The invention relates generally to welding and, more specifically, to welding wires for arc welding, such as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) or Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW). In one embodiment, a tubular welding wire includes a sheath and a core. The tubular welding wire includes less than approximately 0.4% manganese metal or alloy by weight, and the tubular welding wire is configured to form a weld deposit having less than approximately 0.5% manganese by weight.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING FLUORINE-CONTAINING GAS FOR SUBMERGED ARC WELDING
    Publication number: 20130299462
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to welding, and more specifically, to submerged arc welding (SAW). In an embodiment, a welding system includes a gas supply system configured to provide a fluorine-containing gas flow. The system also includes a wire supply system configured to provide welding wire, and a flux supply system configured to provide flux near a welding arc during submerged arc welding (SAW). The system further includes a welding torch assembly configured to receive the fluorine-containing gas flow and the welding wire and to deliver the fluorine-containing gas flow and the welding wire near the welding arc during the SAW.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WELDING ELECTRODES
    Publication number: 20130270248
    Abstract: The invention relates generally to welding and, more specifically, to welding wires for arc welding, such as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) or Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW). In one embodiment, a tubular welding wire includes a sheath and a core. Further, the core includes a carbon source and an agglomerate having a Group I or Group II compound, silicon dioxide, and titanium dioxide. Additionally, the carbon source and the agglomerate together comprise less than 10% of the core by weight.
