In case you are wondering if FCAW is strong enough for structural work....this is for Princeton University and is being welded in my shop with E70T-1 w/100% CO2 shielding gas. 440amps/29.5volts @ about 15"/min. It took (4-5) 60# rolls of wire to weld each column like this one.
the Welder is Melvin and he has been with me here at this plant as one of our 40 welders for a little over 30 years.

Trust me...it's not so "cool" to weld on that material with around 450amps at arms length, in this heat, with the fans turned away to keep from blowing your shielding gas. I have to keep after the guys to stay hydrated....I'm sure they are tired of hearing me preach about drinking plenty of fluids. Originally Posted by robertjra
