Flux Cored Welding Wires

Welding Engineers NZ Ltd supply a wide range of flux cored wires (FCW) and are the sole authorised NZ agent for Kobelco Welding (KW), Nippon Steel Welding & Engineering (NSWE) and Chosun flux cored welding wires.

Why change to a higher priced flux-cored wire?

If welding with a solid MIG wire works, why change to a higher priced flux-cored wire?

The flux in the core of FCWs combine a number of ingredients which are specific for the welding application or performance enhancement each wire is designed for, e.g. slag formers to shield the weld pool and shape and support the weld, alloys to improve the mechanical properties, fluxing agents to clean up impurities on the weld metal.

For almost all welding applications a correctly selected FCW can do it better and faster than a solid wire.

As subsidaries of two of the world's major steel manufacturers, KW and NSWE have access to the highest ‘A’ grade green bar steel as the base metal in production of their welding consumables. They can also add fluxing agents to the steel itself during manufacture of the green bar, in addition to the agents in the flux core, which allows greater specificity for targeted performance.

Optimising the efficiency of the welding job by choosing the best quality FCW you can will pay off in the overall cost of the job:

Faster, more efficient, better quality welding will decrease the largest cost component of your work – Labour.
