Welding wires
Welding wire
Wire selected for stable feed and predictable arc behaviour.
In robotic welding, wire feed consistency matters more than in manual welding. A manual welder adjusts technique to compensate for feed variation. A robot follows its programmed path and relies entirely on the wire behaving the way the process was set up to expect.
Falkon Automation supplies solid and flux-cored welding wire in the grades used most commonly in industrial MIG, TIG and overlay applications. We focus on feed consistency and reliable arc characteristics over long production runs.
Wire types
Solid and flux-cored options for robotic applications.
- Solid MIG wire (GMAW): general structural welding, stainless steel and chrome-moly grades available
- Flux-cored wire (FCAW): higher deposition rates for structural fabrication and hard overlay applications
- Overlay and hardfacing wire: for wear surfaces, mining components and excavator teeth
- TIG filler wire: precision filler for TIG and plasma processes
Selection Criteria
What matters when specifying wire for automated welding.
01
Diameter tolerance to ±0.01mm: consistent feed without micro-adjustments to robot wire drive
02
Surface cleanliness: drawing compound residue causes feed irregularities in robotic torches
03
Cast and helix within specification: prevents arc wander at high wire-feed speeds
04
Consistent chemistry batch to batch: keeps mechanical properties predictable across production
