MIG and "Flux Cored"
How to set optimum welding parameters.

Written by Ed Craig, 156 pages.

This weld process control book provides in-depth weld data on setting traditional, optimum Manual MIG and " Gas Shielded Flux Cored" weld parameters.

No more "playing around" with the MIG and flux cored weld data. MIG and flux cored manual weld parameter selection is made simple with Ed's unique "Weld Clock Control Method". The weld data provided applies for all manual carbon steels, low alloy steels and stainless applications.

 

Ed provided flux cored process control training (using the clock method) for
Canada's largest Oil / pipe line company and several ship yards.

Dear Ed Craig,
I am a welder living and working in Australia. I found your website and am very interested in your books. "Manual "Gas Metal Arc & Flux Cored Welding Parameters". I am currently undertaking a diploma course in welding technology and while I can learn untold amounts about welding theory and how the materials change etc, I have yet to find any instructor or welder in the industry that knows how to simply set up a GMAW machine properly. Most people just play with the settings and focus on the skills. For most of them if the weld looks good, that's enough, however its not good enough for me.I want to know the optimum weld settings and I certainly dont want to play around with weld controls.

Yours sincerely
I C Ormrod

MIG and Flux Cored are the two most utilized weld processes. Yet, for over 30 years, incorrect weld parameter selection and ineffective training methods have retarded their growth and contributed to welders "playing around" with weld controls. The daily impact to the welding industry is enourmous. Unecessary poor weld quality, unnecessary weld rework and spatter, low or unknown weld deposition rates, and the purchase of incorrect weld equipment and consumables.

Many weld shops will have manual pipe and structural welders using inappropriate SMAW (stick) weld techniques on those MIG and flux cored welds.
This book provides the optimum weld settings they should be using and if you want to provide your weld personnel with the world's most comprehensive process control training program, take a look at Ed's flux cored CD training program.


The flux cored training program saved Aker Kaverner in Phily over 5 million dollars annualy through less E71T-1 flux cored weld rework on the constuction of oil tankers steel plate with ceramic backed welds.

 

Ed has finally shattered the myths surrounding the GMAW and FCAW process. He introduces the unique yet simple weld clock method for weld parameter selection, and gets to the heart of what it takes to consistently produce quality welds for any carbon, low alloy, or stainless steel application. Clearly, Gas Metal Arc & Flux Cored Welding Parameters is the definitive resource for any technician, decision-maker, trainer, or quality control personnel interested in manual weld process optimization.

Ed: Just found your site and I am slowly going through it. I hope you enjoy doing this, because it sure is an asset to the industry. I'm a retired pipe welder, and now teach welding. I have some experience welding with MIG and gas shielded flux cored wires, but I'm weak with weld parameter selection. I'm ordering your book tomorrow. Would it be all right if I asked you some questions (after I read the book) so I can enlighten my trainees. In the past when I have had weld technical questions, I have tried both Miller and Lincoln techs, but either get answers that make no sense or no answers. Regardless, great job on this site. Steve.
