Regarding the issue of welding material consumption
Thread Content
For root welding using argon arc welding and filling/welding the surface with electrodes, how is the amount of material required calculated? The quotas specify only the amount needed for electrodes or welding wire. For example, in the case of a stainless steel pipe with an inner wall thickness of 3.05 mm, how much welding wire is required for pure argon arc welding, and how much welding wire and electrodes are needed for combined argon arc and electric welding?
Just a layperson’s guess, :) Factors such as the total length of the welding wire, the cross-sectional area of the weld, and the diameter of the welding material used are likely the parameters that need to be taken into account for calculations; this is just for reference.
I know this; a single one is fine. But how do we calculate them separately for TIG+MIG welding?
Has this problem been solved? I have the same confusion. Shall we exchange ideas?
1. Count them one by one; there are slight differences at different welding locations and among different welders； 2. Estimate using the calculation formula recommended in the welding manual; theoretically, it is calculated based on the volume of the metal.
