Most companies near me use flux core or mig/tig ,unless your a pipe welder ,even structural places use flux core ,im wondering because i like stick welding and dont see many jobs about
There's very little that isn't stick or tig welded on anything to do with oil and gas.
take these beams for instance top web 60mm thick and vertical web about 20 mm
all full pen stick and ultrasonic tested
filarc 88s electrodes maybe a bit slower than fluxcore mag etc but far superior mechanical test results View attachment 152954
What is it?
“It is after all the strongest weld for thickish sections”
The weld metal is no stronger than that deposited with GMAW or GTAW.
