Abstract

The effect of welding material such as welding wires and materials for contact tip on the contact tip wear was investigated. Two types welding wires such as solid and flux cored wire and a variety of contact tips made of Cu-P, Cu-Cr(0.25%), Cu-Cr(1%) and Cu-Cr-Zr were employed for the comparison of wear resistance. It was found that the wear resistance of contact tips materials was Cu-Cr-Zr, Cu-Cr(1%), Cu-Cr(0.25%), Cu-P in order while the solid wire had a better wear resistance than flux cored wire.
