How does FCAW work?
Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW) is a semi-automatic or automatic welding process that uses a continuously fed tubular wire filled with flux. The flux core protects the weld from contamination, making FCAW highly efficient, especially in outdoor or windy conditions where shielding gas might be impractical. FCAW is known for its deep weld penetration and strong welds, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications like shipbuilding, construction, and industrial fabrication.

Advantages of FCAW
FCAW offers several advantages, including:

• High welding speed and efficiency

• Excellent weld strength and durability

• Effective in outdoor and less controlled environments

• Suitable for thick materials and heavy-duty projects

Applications
FCAW is widely used in industries such as:

• Structural steel construction

• Shipbuilding and repair

• Heavy equipment manufacturing

• Industrial fabrication
