Copper-cored welding wire is a consumable used in semi-automatic welding machines. It has several advantages over non-copperized wire. To apply a copper coating to steel, the wire is immersed in a solution of copper sulfate. This leads to a substitution process, during which iron particles are transferred to the solution and a small layer of copper appears in their place. After being run through the wire, the copper is compacted, and the surface of the wire becomes glossy and has a characteristic pinkish tint.
Advantages of copper-plated Paton wire
• Paton copper-clad welding wire can be used for automatic and semi-automatic metal welding. It is widely used in shipbuilding and machine building, as well as in construction projects of various sizes. It provides a strong connection between metal parts and has the following advantages:
• The use of a copper coating reduces resistance, which significantly increases current conductivity, ensuring a uniform arc and high quality weld.
• The low contact resistance makes it possible to weld metal with virtually no spatter, which increases safety and saves materials.
• The high tensile strength allows the use of filler wire with automatic feeders without deforming the consumable.
