Flux-Cored Welding Wire

Flux-Cored Wire vs Solid-Cored Wire

Professional welders are well aware that the flux-cored wire is improved to offer performance that is simply not possible with a solid wire. That is why, the commercial welders prefer to use Flux-Cored wire over Solid-Cored gas wire in many welding applications including flat welding and vertical-up welding, welding over galvanized or welding hard-to-weld steels. The Solid-Cored wire is more popular and is easier to weld, as it needs cleaner steel and thus it is hard to maintain the fusion for out of position welding.
