hidden under the flux, high current density can be considered with the following benefit: ● Operator protection from arc ray and heat radiation ● High deposition rate and high quality welds ● Versatile welding process with combination of wire diameter, flux type, single or multiple electrodes, welding current wave shape and welding mode WELDING PARAMETERS (VARIABLES) WIRE DIAMETER/AMPERAGE The submerged arc wire standard portfolio includes different wire sizes, mainly between 2.0 and 4.0 mm wire diameter. The choice of wire size is made in accordance with the welding procedure parameters in order to maximize the current density and increase the melt off rate, without exceeding the wire current carrying capacity as shown in the following table.
