Hello to everyone.
I like to add that using CO2 mixed with a little Argon will reduce the weld spatter in GMAW.
Thanks.

Hi
I have an opposite experience with what Mr.Karthik has mentioned in the trailing email.
GMAW produces lot of spatter and frequently welder has to change contact tips. LOF, silica inclusions defects are more.
FCAW produces very less spatter, good bead profile, better control and lesser defects. In fact we have achieved 100% RT/UT welds with FCAW. With FCAW you can weld with higher current densities, thus achieve more productivity than GMAW.
However cost of welding consumables of FCAW/kg is more than GMAW.

>Hi,
When compared to FCAW and MIG, MIG is better than FCAW.
because GMAW can give excellent results. The finished weld has no slag and
almost no spatter. If the material you're welding is dirty, rusty, or
painted, you must clean it properly by grinding until you get shiny surface/bare metal. GMAW successfully with common commercial metals —
low-carbon steel, low-alloy steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
better for root pass.
FCAW - more welding operator/welder control required,proper selection of electrode diameter related to thickness etc.,,if welder is not capable- poor bead,more spatter,incomplete penetration and FCAW mostly suits for thicker materials.some times can with thinner material with lesser dia of electrode.
but finishing/quality GMAW is better than FCAW.
Thanks & Regards,

Which welding is economical and qualitative, FCAW or MIG !
