Welding Wire

The key to welding wire is to use the correct wire. Only through a strong and durable connection can take place. To obtain an optimum weld to offer some companies to send in its raw material, so that they can make it an optimal welding wire for welding the parts to be joined. Only in this way we get at the joint of the same color, the same gloss and mechanically optimal welding results.

Usually, a welding wire is used in series, also in the development of new products and repairs of plastic parts. There are also welding wire is used only for application to machine parts made of steel, cast steel or manganese, such as rollers, treads and dredging parts. When welding, welding and injection molding hot-air welding is recommended, because the right technology is vital to ensuring the best possible result.


I would like car body panels welding. Which gas is exactly what I need? But would 82% argon 18% of its CO2, right?

Which filler wire is best suited for this and where can I get him? Wire is available at hardware stores as well as the retailers from the? Would be nice if you could give me some tips regarding this.

(will be sold, depending on the provider, under various trade names: corgon 18, Sagox18, etc.)

..... Applications CORGON ® 18: inert for MAG welding of mild steel, shipbuilding, steel, high strength steel, galvanized or aluminized steel and pressure vessel steel plates

the dealer is the wire i.d.R. somewhat more favorable.
If you then ask for 'normal' shielded arc welding, you'll get with very high probability G3Si1 (other / older term: SG2) - this is the wire you for the structural steel, etc. need.

The wire from the building market will respond to this - So you can also buy (though slightly less frequently found in hardware stores 15kg rolls get - another alternative: for example, eBay ... click .... but your welder must absorb 15kg rolls can - the cheap small, can sometimes not)

If the wire is more suitable for simple body panels, or makes no sense?


... times compare the offers: on the one hand there are sellers that the quote what gives also the manufacturer. I.e. detailed characteristics of type, permissions, etc.
And then there are deals where only (figuratively stands): Supertoller specialized welding wire - without any further specification.

My tip: buy 'it, where nothing is kept secret - and will be properly documented.

The difference between SG2 and SG3 should primarily be the tensile strength (SG3 contains slightly more silicon and manganese).
Plays no role in your case, however, since normal body panel and structural steel ere lower than the values of the welding wire.
Here are the details of the wire from the linked eBay listing: click
I (the current prices for wire was not in his head - but I think that the price (including shipping to your door), ok)
