Structure and Types of Cored Wires

Mechanical Engineering and electronics industry cannot be imagined without solid wires, fluxes, metals and various extraordinary devices that are involved to build meticulous and gigantic machines. From soldering to welding and brazing, everything involves the use of cored wires. These wires can be clubbed with various elements and metals in accordance with the machine/circuit to be built. Let us explore the structure and the uses of these significantly important components that are extensively used in modern electronics.

One of the most common components used in electrical circuits are flux cored wires. There are majorly two kinds of flux cored wires – gas shielded and self-shielded. Let’s check them out:

# Gas shielded flux cored wires - This variety is guarded with external shielding gas. The structure of gas shielded flux-cored wires enables the metal to solidify and coagulate faster than the metals used in welding processes. These cored wires work well during the process of welding metals with higher melting point. Slag removal in the process is also trouble-free. 

# Self shielded flux cored wires - Talking about the self-shielding variety, they do not need any external shielding of gas as mentioned above. This cored wire develops their own protective shield, making them easy to operate. They are often described as a ‘stick electrode that is inside out’!

Let’s see three main uses and advantages of cored wires –

•    They possess excellent mechanical features and corrosion resistance which is best for all welding metal applications.

•    They offer heightened moisture resistance for seamless connectivity making them perfectly suitable for use in many electrical appliances 

•    Cored wires are reliable and offer consistency in soldering processes, which can then be used in all kinds of applications.

You can look for a professional service provider who builds these magnificent cored wires for accurate welding and soldering processes in electrical engineering.
