What is FCAW-SS?
FCAW-SS = Flux Cored Arc Welding-Self Shielded
• Innershield® Welding
• Process Developed by Lincoln Electric
• Tubular Wire with Fluxing
Agents Inside the Core to
Protect the Weld
• Most Electrodes Operate
DCEN (DC-) polarity,
some on DCEP (DC+)

FCAW-SS
A flux cored arc welding process variation that uses
an arc between a continuous filler metal electrode
and the weld pool in which
shielding is obtained
exclusively from the flux
within the electrode and
without the application
of pressure.

Advantages
• Outdoor Usability
• Minimize Restarts
• No Shielding Gas
Costs
• High Deposition Rates

Advantages continued
• Mechanical Properties
• Effective Smoke
Removal
• Dirty Steels & Off

Analysis Steels
• All Position Welding

Limitations
• Smoke and Fumes
• Spatter
• Slag (Cleaning Time)
• Break Electrode to
Restrike

What is FCAW-GS?
FCAW-GS = Flux Cored Arc Welding-Gas Shielded
• Outershield® Welding & “Double Shield” Welding
• Tubular Wire With
Fluxing Agents Inside
the Core
• Used With An
External Shielding Gas
• All Electrodes Operate
on DCEP (DC+) Polarity

FCAW-GS
A flux cored arc welding process variation that uses
an arc between a continuous
filler metal electrode
and the weld pool in which
shielding gas is supplied
through the gas nozzle
without the application of
pressure, in addition to
that obtained from the flux
within the electrode.

Advantages
• Bead Appearance
• Little to No Spatter
• Mechanical Properties

Advantages continued
• High Efficiencies (90+
%)
• Easy Re-strike
• All Position Welding
• Low Hydrogen Weld

Limitations
• Smoke and Fumes
• Portability
• Outdoor Weldability
• Potential for Gas

* As a rule of thumb, start with a shade that is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to a lighter
shade, which gives sufficient view of the weld zone without going below the minimum.

116

Electrodes
• Characterized by Long Electrical StickOut (E.S.O.)
– Typically 3/4” - 3 3/4” with + 1/8” Tolerance
• Too Long E.S.O. Causes an Unstable Arc,

Increased Spatter, and Decreased Penetration
• Too Short E.S.O. Causes Excessive Arc Length

and Premature Melting & Activation of the Core
Materials causing Porosity
117

• Calcium Provide Shielding & Form Slag
• Carbon Increase Hardness & Strength
• Manganese Deoxidize & Increase Strength
• Molybdenum Increase Hardness & Strength

Alternating Current
Alternating Current (AC): A current which reverses
at regularly recurring intervals of time (every 1/100 or
1/120 of a second) and which has alternately positive
and negative values. Modern power systems normally
generate a sinusoidal alternating current of either 50
or 60 Hertz (Hz).
159

Direct Current Electrode Negative
Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN):The
arrangement of direct current arc welding
cables/leads in which the electrode is the
negative pole and the workpiece is the positive pole
of the welding arc.
DCEN
160

Direct Current Electrode Positive
Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP): The
arrangement of direct current arc welding
cables/leads in which the electrode is the
positive pole and the workpiece is the negative pole
of the welding arc.

current change from
a small arc
voltage change.
