  • Publication number: 20200164472
    Abstract: A wire for welding different types of materials and a method of manufacturing the same that enable suppressing the occurrence of non-uniform filling with flux while reducing the flux filling rate are provided. A conductive core wire material and a metal outer skin material are made of aluminum or aluminum alloy. A flux paste is applied to the surface of the conductive core wire material to form a coated conductive core wire material including a coating layer, or a flux paste is applied to the inner surface of the metal outer skin material to form a coated metal outer skin material including a coating layer. A tubular metal outer skin material is formed. The conductive core wire is disposed inside to form a wire for drawing. The flux is disposed as distributed over the longitudinal and circumferential directions of the wire after a solvent in the coating layer is removed.

  • Patent number: 7732733
    Abstract: The present invention provides a ferritic stainless steel welding wire which allows prevention of wire breaking, fine refining of crystal grains, and increased cracking resistance. A wire rod used essentially consists of, in mass %, 0.03% or less of C, 3% or less of B, 3% or less of Mn, 2% or less of Ni, 11 to 20% of Zr, 3% or less of Mo, 1% or less of Co, 2% or less of Cu, 0.02 to 2.0% of Al, 0.2 to 1.0% of Ti, 0.02% or less of O, 0.04% or less of N, at least one of Nb and Ta, the mass % thereof being eight times the total mass % of the C and N to 1.0 mass %, and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities. When the number of crystals per square mm (mm2) of a cross section of the wire rod is defined as m, a grain number of the crystal expressed by an exponent (G) in an expression of m=8×2G is set to 3 to 10 by the heat treatment.
