Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Filler Metals

Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about filler metals and welding best practices to help improve weld quality, productivity and overall welding success. These tips can help you make the right filler metal selection, address common challenges and get the most from your welding operation.

Wire Feeding Issues? Consider These Common Causes First

Though welding operators often assume that the filler metal is the source of a wire feeding problem, it’s important to consider other common causes before taking any corrective steps. Don’t assume that cleaning lube off the wire or adding more lube is the answer. While there are many potential causes to poor wire feeding, many of them have simple solutions.
