Quota calculation for flux-cored welding wires used in MIG welding
Thread Content
Dear marine professionals, regarding the determination of the deposition efficiency in the quota calculation for flux-cored wires, for example, the Atlantic CHT711 φ1.2mm flux-cored wire – detailed values from process evaluations are not required; it is sufficient to use the value ranges provided in welding manuals and reference books for quota calculation purposes.
This depends on the wire-to-flux ratio specified by the manufacturer; it determines how much weld metal can be produced per kilogram of welding wire. Different specifications of flux-cored wires have different values, so it’s necessary to ask the manufacturer. As for the losses during the welding process, they won’t be significant.
A welding assessment is recommended for values between 0.86 and 0.88; the results of this assessment shall be taken as the standard
