Welding characteristics
Welding charac-
teristics
Depending on the welding process and shielding gas mix, various process-optim-
ised welding characteristics are available when selecting the filler metal.
Examples of welding characteristics:
-
MIG/MAG 3700 PMC Steel 1,0mm M21 - arc blow *
-
MIG/MAG 3450 PMC Steel 1,0mm M21 - dynamic *
-
MIG/MAG 3044 Puls AlMg5 1.2 mm I1 - universal *
-
MIG/MAG 2684 Standard Steel 0.9 mm M22 - root *
The additional designation (*) next to the welding process provides information
about the special properties and use of the welding characteristic.
The description of the characteristics is set out as follows:
Marking
Welding process
Properties
additive
CMT
Characteristics with reduced heat input and greater stability at a higher depos-
ition rate for welding bead onto bead in adaptive structures
arc blow
PMC
Characteristic to avoid arc breaks due to arc blow.
arcing
Standard
Characteristics for a special type of hardfacing on a wet or dry surface
(e.g. grinding rollers in the sugar and ethanol industries)
base
standard
Characteristics for a special type of hardfacing on a wet or dry surface
(e.g. grinding rollers in the sugar and ethanol industries)
braze
CMT, LSC, PMC
Characteristic for brazing processes (reliable wetting and good flow of braze ma-
terial)
braze+
CMT
Characteristic for brazing processes with the special Braze+ gas nozzle and high
brazing speed (gas nozzle with narrow opening and high flow rate)
CC/CV
CC/CV
Characteristic with constant current or constant voltage curve for power supply
operation of the power source, a wirefeeder is not required.
