Fillet Weld Penetration Using Gas Metal and Flux-Cored Arc Welding Processes

Project Information

Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-12-0092
Project Abstract:

This project is meant to demonstrate the appropriateness of gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) processes for steel bridge fabrication. The outcomes of the project will be oriented to acquiring the data to develop training materials to show how fillet weld cross-sections change based on the process and transfer mode.

Goals 

To demonstrate that gas metal and flux-cored arc welding processes are appropriate in steel bridge fabrication provided the short circuiting transfer mode does not occur.
