Mechanical characteristics
Why choose ABRAFIL FCW (gas-free cored wire)?
-
No external gaseous protection required:
The wire produces its own protective atmosphere thanks to its internal flux, eliminating the need to use gas (argon, CO₂…). This is ideal for work outdoors or in ventilated areas, where a protective gas would be difficult to control. -
Excellent portability for worksites:
With no gas cylinder to carry, the station is lighter, more mobile and easier to deploy on site. Perfect for maintenance, site work, construction or quick repairs. -
Good penetration and generous deposit:
Gas-free flux-cored wire often provides deep penetration and a large deposit per pass, which is useful when assembling or repairing thick or highly stressed parts. -
Can be used by everyone, even amateurs:
This type of wire is widely used in consumer welding equipment (DIY, automotive, agricultural), and is easy to use, especially in gas-free MIG (FCAW-S), with a good compromise between performance and simplicity. -
Less sensitive to draughts and bad weather:
Unlike gas processes, it can be used outdoors without interfering with the protection of the melt, making it an ally in harsh conditions.
