Review on Hobart H222106 RTP 0 030 Inch Flux Cored Value Twin by Mark Sharma

Works great as does every Hobart wire I've ever used. For those unfamiliar with wire welding, there are two main types of steel welding. Gas shielding, which uses gas emanating from argon (or other acceptable gas) to protect the weld from contamination, and gas-free wire, also known as cored wire, where the shielding agent is contained in a flux held in a tiny becomes void in the weld. the cable. Advantages of gas shielded arc welding include lower welding costs (after the initially higher cost of buying a shielded gas cylinder) and no slag on welds. Gasless welding has the advantage of being able to work in windy conditions and is good for people who don't weld much as it requires a certain amount of welding before you recoup the cost of a gas cylinder compared to buying flux cored wire. the cable. In windy weather, shielding gas can be blown out of the weld, allowing moisture and atmospheric oxygen to enter the molten weld metal before it hardens, which can result in a porous (weakened) weld. Cored wire creates a screen directly over the weld (flux turning to slag) as the weld forms and is not affected by the wind any normal person would weld. easier to not handle gas cylinders or adjust valves and regulators etc. Just set the welder voltage and wire feed speed and you're good to go. shielded wire welder in the shop and generally use a smaller portable cored wire welder for on-site repairs or things that are inconvenient to carry indoors. Because I bring everything I can to the shop, even though my portable welder can hold a 10lb spool, I don't use much filler wire, so smaller spools. Not only that, but if you have to lug a 60-pound welder up scaffolding to weld something on a tractor or combine, the 10-pound wire spool just adds to the dead weight I have to lift. Also, it's important not to build up too much wire as you definitely want to use it before it rusts. I like that they are wrapped in plastic which helps them last longer. Overall a good quality product that is slightly cheaper if you buy a double pack than if you buy two single packs.
