摘要 |
The invention relates generally to welding and, more specifically, to electrodes for arc welding, such as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) or Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW). In one embodiment, a tubular welding wire includes a sheath and a core. The core includes a carbon source and a potassium source that together comprise less than 10% of the core by weight. Furthermore, the carbon source is selected from the group: carbon black, lamp black, carbon nanotubes, and diamond. |
