Guide to using yourESAB Consumables CatalogueAll Weld Mechanical PropertiesThe mechanical properties of the deposited weld metal shown in this catalogue referto all weld metal properties when deposited in the flat position. These may have littlerelevance to the properties of a real joint achieved in practice, since this will dependon the dilution from the base material, welding position, bead sequence and heatinput. Apart from their use for quality control purposes, the mechanical properties ofthe all weld metal test provide the designer with an initial guide to the selection ofwelding consumables.This is particularly important with regard to Charpy impact grading. Thus,consumables which have the highest grade are more likely to offer better Charpyproperties when used in practice. They will not necessarily give the same level ofCharpy results in a welded joint as they do in an all weld metal test piece.Shielding GasesFor optimum performance of gas shielded wires, careful control of electrode extension(stickout) and of shielding gas flow rate are recommended in order to avoid nitrogenentrainment from the air. The use of low nitrogen shielding gas is also recommended.Consult your gas supplier for information on the nitrogen levels of shielding gases.4

Storage and Handling ofWelding ConsumablesMIG/MAG and TIG WiresAlthough welding wires do not have a flux coating, poor storage conditions can bedetrimental to their performance and shelf life. Inadequate storage conditions canlead to surface rusting or contamination of the wire to the extent that feedability anddiffusible hydrogen levels are adversely affected.Wires should not be left on welding machines or out of the store for prolongedperiods, especially overnight, since condensation of moisture from the air may lead torapid surface deterioration. Always replace wires in their original packaging and returnthem to controlled storage areas.It is recommended that the relative humidity of storage areas for welding consumablesshould not exceed 60%. Where the ambient temperature falls below 15ºC, storagetemperatures should be maintained at 2ºC above ambient. The reason for thisrecommendation is to avoid condensation of moisture onto consumables. It is moreimportant for storage areas to be dry than to be warm.5

Health and Safety InformationWelding FumeWelding fume consists of various airborne substances (fine particles and gases) whichmay increase hazards to health when they are inhaled or swallowed. The degree ofhazard to the welder depends upon the composition of the fume, the concentration inthe air that he is breathing and the time for which he is exposed to it.No fumes or gases are evolved by MMA, MIG or TIG, SAW or gas weldingconsumables at normal ambient temperatures, but in use (welding), fumes can beevolved. The tables in this section give the chemical composition of the particulatefume evolved during the use of the range of welding consumables, analysis being offume generated in an enclosed Swedish box type apparatus and using a compatiblebase pIate.The chemical composition of the fume is expressed as weight percent of elements,as is conventional, rather than as oxides and silicates and the other complex formsthey actually exist in, in the fume. The analysis is not a complete analysis, the balanceof the fume from the MMA process, for example, consisting of complex oxides andsilicates of some or all the slag-forming constituents of the electrode coating such assodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, titanium, which are usuallytreated together as a residual fraction of inert inorganic fume.The gases nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide and ozone may sometimes be produced bythe action of the electric arc or the radiation from it on the surrounding air. Thesegases do not arise from the welding consumable and are not usually a problem inMMA welding under conditions of normal ventilation. MIG welding is more likely togive rise to these gases, particularly at high current levels, and ozone generation maybe increased by the presence of argon in the atmosphere around the arc. Carbonmonoxide may be produced by the decomposition of carbon dioxide in the shieldinggas or of carbonates in flux cored wires.Occupational Exposure LimitsThe recommended limit on the concentration of welding fume (or any otheratmospheric contaminant) in the air breathed by any person is defined by the Health& Safety Executive in a list of Occupational Exposure Limits (guidance note EH40).This guidance note is revised annually and reference should always be the mostrecent edition. A long term exposure limit (8 hr T WA value) of 5mg/m 3 for particulatewelding fume is included in the current list.It is the responsibility of the user/employer under the Health & Safety at Work Act andthe Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations that limits arenot exceeded. The fume analysis cannot be used to assess the concentration of totalwelding fume to which a welder is exposed. Assessment of the possible exposure ofthe welder must be carried out by a competent person.6The analysis of fume from electrodes and wires for welding mild and some low alloysteels and aluminium alloys indicates that at a total particulate fume concentration of5mg/m 3 no individual constituent of the fume will exceed its own recommended limit.

Health and Safety InformationThese consumables can be found in table 1. There are, however, consumables whichgive fume containing elements such as chromium, nickel, manganese and copper insufficient quantities that even at 5mg/m 3 their own limits would be exceeded. In thesecases a greater degree of fume control or protection is required to ensure that weldersand others are not exposed to excessive amounts of these elements. Consumablesgiving fume of this nature are listed in table 2, which also include guidance on themaximum concentration of total particulate fume allowable in order to protect workersfrom the main constituent (e.g. chromium) present in the fume.The figures quoted in these tables are theoretical maximum concentrations, but atvery low values, for accuracy with gravimetric determinations, sampling would have tobe carried out for long periods, perhaps even over a complete working day. In theseinstances it is suggested that chemical analysis for the main constituent elements ofconcern might be a more practical approach.Hazards of Excessive ExposureEffects from excessive exposure to fume arising from inadequate ventilation maybecome apparent at the time of welding or shortly afterwards or at some later date.Some of the effects are summarised below, and here it is important to note that workersother than welders may also come into contact with the products of welding fume:-(a) Irritation of the Respiratory TractThis is the effect of dust or fume on the lining of the respiratory tract and cancause dryness of the throat, tickling, coughing, chest tightness, wheezing anddifficulty in breathing. In its most acute form it can cause the lungs to become fullof fluid. The effects will vary with exposure, concentration and type of irritant.(b) Metal Fume FeverThe inhalation of freshly formed metallic oxides such as those of zinc, chromium,nickel, copper, manganese may lead to an acute influenza like illness termed metalfume fever.(c) Systemic PoisoningThis can result from the inhalation or swallowing of substances such as fluorides,hexavalent chromium, lead and barium.(d) Long Term EffectsIt is possible that certain constituents of welding fume such as hexavalentchromium and nickel may be carcinogenic and until there is definite informationabout this it is wise to treat them as such.(e) FibrosisThis is the formation of fibrous or scar tissue in the lungs. It is the result of areaction between dust or fume with the lung tissue. There are various typesdepending on the nature of the substance involved and duration of exposure.In all cases of doubt concerning physiological response to welding pollutants, medicaladvice should be sought promptly.7

Health and Safety InformationPersonal Protection/VentilationWelders should wear the normal protective clothing and eye protection appropriate toelectric arc welding. Under certain circumstances particularly with some high alloyedelectrodes, the slag formed on the weld bead can detach and fly off in pieces,presenting a burn hazard to eyes and skin. Those in close proximity to welds shouldprotect themselves from the danger of flying slag.Ventilation and/or fume extraction must be adequate to keep fume concentrationwithin safe limits.Note on Other Atmospheric PollutantsIn any welding operation other possible sources of atmospheric contamination maybe present, for example, coatings, paint or traces of oil or of degreasing agents onwork being welded, or substances arising from other operations in the vicinity, inaddition to any fume arising from the welding consumables. Advice regarding thenature and extent of any possible hazard which might arise directly or indirectly fromsuch substances or sources should always be obtained from the manufacturer ofeach product. Occupational exposure limits for a large number of substances arelisted in Guidance Note EH40.Further InformationAdditional information and technical advice on products included in this book may beobtained from:Esab Ltd,Tel: 01992 760698.Welding Manufacturers Association leaflet 236 Hazards from Welding Fume, whichgives some more general information about welding fume, is also available on request.Guidance Note EH40 (Occupational Exposure Limits), EH54 (Assessment of exposureto fume from welding and allied processes) and EH55 (Control of exposure to fumefrom welding, brazing and similar processes) are available from HMSO bookshops.9

The alloyis widely used in the joining of zinc-coatedsteel sheets in car body production, aswell as for overlay welding on low- andnon-alloyed steels and cast iron. PulsedGMA is recommended. OK Autrod 19.30is normally welded with pure Ar as theshielding gas; however, for GMA brazing,the addition of 1% O 2 improves thebrazing properties.Welding currentDC(+)ClassificationsSFA/AWS A5.7ERCuSi-AEN 14640 S Cu 6560(CuSi3Mn1)Wire compositionSi Mn Cu Sn Zn Fe3.4 1.1 >94.0

PackagingMARATHON PAC – endlessfeedabilityFor many customers, Marathon Pac bulkdrums for MIG/MAG and FCAW are key inmaximising production efficiency andquality; in manual welding and especially inmechanised and robotic welding. MarathonPac can cut the time taken by spoolchanges and maintenance by almost 95%.Marathon Pac comes in three sizes – thestandard version, the jumbo version and themini version – and is available for non andlow-alloyed MAG wires, stainless MIG wires,aluminium MIG wires, MAG-brazing wiresand cored wires. In addition, there is an“endless version” for C,mn Wires, whichmakes it possible to combine the contentof a series of Marathon Pacs to form acontinuous in-line supply source, therebynecessitating no stops whatsoever for wireexchange. This is ideal for multi-robotstations. A special wire resistance welder isavailable from ESAB for this purpose.Availability and content weight are given inthe table below.Marathon Pac versions Wire Types Filling content72Standard version Non-/low-alloyed 250kg (ø 0.8 mm: 200kg)(w x h: 513 x 830mm) Stainless 250kg (ø 0.8 mm: 200kg)MAG-brazing200kgCored wiresdepending on wire typeJumbo version Non-/low-alloyed 475kg (min. ø 1.0mm)(w x h: 595 x 935mm) Stainless 475kg (min. ø 1.0mm)Aluminium141kgCored wiresdepending on wire typeMini version Stainless 100kg(w x h: 513 x 500mm)Endless version Non-/low-alloyed wires 2 x 250kg(2 x standard or jumbo version) 2 x 475kgStainless2 x 250kg2 x 475kg

PackagingPerfect delivery to the welding headThe special coiling technique that is used when packing the drum ensures that thewire is never twisted or warped, which would otherwise cause arc wander. Welds arewell positioned and perfectly straight. The unwinding process from the drum isautomatic, so no separate de-coiling equipment is needed and no additional forcesare required, like those that are needed when pulling a traditional revolving spool.This translates into a lower wear rate for the wire feeder.Easy recyclingMarathon Pac comes in octagonal cardboard drums that are fully recyclable. They canbe folded flat after use to save on storage space.From left to right: Endless Marathon Pac, Mini Marathon Pac, Standard Marathon Pac,Jumbo Marathon Pac.73
