Flux Cored Wire Welding-FCW. FCW welding is closely related to Gas Metal-Arc Welding (GMAW). The flux filled wire is automatically fed through the centre of the gun using the same equipment as when GMA-welding. The shielding gas is supplied through the gun and protects the weld pool from oxidation during welding. The flux inside the wire will protect the weld from the atmosphere since it forms a slag which covers the weld. 2, record 2, English, - flux%2Dcored%20wire%20welding

Le soudage avec fil fourré (flux cored arc welding) s'apparente au soudage MAG dont il se distingue par la nature de l'électrode qu'il met en œuvre. L'électrode se présente sous la forme d'un feuillard enroulé sur lui-même pour contenir un flux solide en vue d'obtenir des conditions de soudage physico-chimiques similaires à celles obtenues en soudage à l'électrode enrobée et une technologie similaire à celle du soudage MAG par la continuité de l'électrode, qui permet un emploi semi-automatique ou automatique. 3, record 2, French, - soudage%20avec%20fil%20fourr%C3%A9

Welded cans are manufactured by one of two methods, wheel or wire welding. Both are variations of a forge-welding process.... Wire welding can accommodate the use of tin plate while wheel welding is best suited for tin-free steel, TFS. When using TFS, both methods require grinders to clean the edges to be welded so that they are free of oxides and chrome surface materials. Prior to side seam welding, the body blanks are formed into cylinders and tack-welded to maintain shape and proper relationship of the edges to each other.... Welded seams are used extensively for three-piece beverage, aerosol and food cans. 1, record 10, English, - wire%20welding
