• The skill availability of personnel
• The types of equipment availability
RECOMMEDATIONS
The selection ofthe correct welding consumables
depends on the following parameters
• Base materials composition
• The weld ability of the steel
• The weld ability of the steel
• Selection of the welding consumables as per
ASME section-II- C
• Acceptance of AWS or any other standards
depends on the clients requirements.
16.
WELDING CONSUMABLES
• TheWelding consumables like the welding electrodes and
filler wires that are required and are recommended are as
follows
• E-6013 Welding Electrodes for Welding in MMAW
process for Carbon steel, Mild steel, For the general
purpose welding applications up to thickness 18 mm or
3/4th inch.
• For thickness over the above mentioned must be welded
with Low Hydrogen electrodes as per AWS E 7018 or
E7018-1 Type of welding consumables.

Consumables- gases
• ER–70 S-6 Solid wire for welding the
GMAW (MAG) welding process
• ER 70-S-2 TIG filler applications incase of
• ER 70-S-2 TIG filler applications incase of
carbon steel welding .
• The use of 100 % CO2 gas for MAG
welding and 100 % pure Argon gas for TIG
welding applications are the main criteria.
Consumables- LAS
• Inthe case of use of Low alloy steels where
C, Mo, Cr and other alloys are involved the
C, Mo, Cr and other alloys are involved the
creep properties are important and hence the
matching composition of the weld metals
are mandatory

Other metals
• CastIron
• Non-Ferrous Alloy:
• Non-Ferrous Alloy:
Aluminium, Copper, Nickel, Magnesium
etc.
Proper Arc Length
•Long arc results in:
– Large globules melting
– Wavering arc
– Wide spatter and irregular bead
• Short arc results in:
• Short arc results in:
– Electrode sticks
– Poor penetration
– Convex bead
– Slag inclusions
– Irregular bead
• Use short length for vertical welds
31.
Speed of Travel
•Travel speed influences:
– Bead width
– Penetration
– General shape of the bead
– General shape of the bead
• Use a uniform speed
• Both hands on the electrode holder
– Operator comfort
• Bead should be about twice the diameter of the
electrode wire
