<strong>EGW</strong><br />

<strong>EGW</strong> power supplies are usually capable <strong>of</strong><br />

750 amps at 100% duty cycle.<br />

Retaining shoes (dams) are typically watercooled<br />

copper. However, steel backing strips,<br />

ceramic backups and combinations are<br />

sometimes used.<br />

<strong>EGW</strong> flux-core electrodes are not the same as<br />

FCAW (less slagging). Solid wires are<br />

typically the same as GMAW (except bigger).
