- 1Advantages of Flux based processes1. Well suited to out of position welding and welding outdoors
2. A wide range of electrode and filler wire compositions are available - 2Disadvantages of flux based processes1. Risk of flux inclusions
2. Fluxes tend to attract moisture which can lead to cold cracking in steels - 3GTAW stands forGas Tungsten Arc Welding
- 4Advantages of GTAW1. Independent control of heat source and addition of filler metal
2. Is automated and does not involve fluxes
3. Produce very high quality welds - 5Disadvantages of GTAW1. Productivity is low
2. High level of skill needed - 6GMAW stands forGas metal arc welding
- 7Advantages of GMAW1. Uses a constant voltage power source to get a self correcting arc length
2. Automated and requires less skill than GTAW
3. Produces good quality welds
