The World Market for Pickling Preparations for Metal Surfaces, Fluxes and Other Products for Soldering, and Core or Coating Products for Welding Electrodes or Rods: A 2004 Global Trade Perspective

This report was created for strategic planners, international executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for pickling preparations for metal surfaces, fluxes and other products for soldering, and core or coating products for welding electrodes or rods. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for pickling preparations for metal surfaces, fluxes and other products for soldering, and core or coating products for welding electrodes or rods for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the world market face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying pickling preparations for metal surfaces, fluxes and other products for soldering, and core or coating products for welding electrodes or rods? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of pickling preparations for metal surfaces, fluxes and other products for soldering, and core or coating products for welding electrodes or rods vary from one country to another? Do exporters serving the world market have similar market shares across the importing countries? Which countries supply the most exports of pickling preparations for metal surfaces, fluxes and other products for soldering, and core or coating products for welding electrodes or rods? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

The concept of latent demand is rather subtle. The term latent typically refers to something that is dormant, not observable, or not yet realized. Demand is the notion of an economic quantity that a target population or market requires under different assumptions of price, quality, and distribution, among other factors. Latent demand, therefore, is commonly defined by economists as the industry earnings of a market when that market becomes accessible and attractive to serve by competing firms. It is a measure, therefore, of potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) or total revenues (not profit) if a market is served in an efficient manner. It is typically expressed as the total revenues potentially extracted by firms. The ?market? is defined at a given level in the value chain. There can be latent demand at the retail level, at the wholesale level, the manufacturing level, and the raw materials level (the P.I.E. of higher levels of the value chain being always smaller than the P.I.E. of levels at lower levels of the same value chain, assuming all levels maintain minimum profitability).
The latent demand for non-ferrous metal arc welding stick electrodes excluding hard-facing electrodes is not actual or historic sales. Nor is latent demand future sales. In fact, latent demand can be lower either lower or higher than actual sales if a market is inefficient (i.e., not representative of relatively competitive levels). Inefficiencies arise from a number of factors, including the lack of international openness, cultural barriers to consumption, regulations, and cartel-like behavior on the part of firms. In general, however, latent demand is typically larger than actual sales in a country market.

Aero Industry Welding
Aircraft repair and fabrication of structural components and high temperature components like exhaust systems and ducting components often calls for NADCAP approved welding.
Gas welding
A fuel gas such as acetylene or hydrogen is mixed inside a welding torch with oxygen to produce a flame with a temperature of around 6,300 degrees F. (3,482 degrees C). This flame is used to melt the materials to be welded. A filler rod is melted into the puddle of molten metal to reinforce the weld. When highly-reactive metals such as aluminum are gas welded, they must be covered with flux to exclude oxygen from the molten metal and keep oxides from forming which would decrease the strength of the weld.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW).
This method is the most familiar and common type and is known in the trade as stick welding. A metal wire rod coated with a welding flux is clamped in an electrode holder connected to the power supply with a heavy electrical cable. The metal to be welded is also attached to the power supply. The electrical power is supplied to the work at a low voltage and high current and may be either AC or DC, depending upon the type of welding being done. An arc is struck between the rod and the work and produces heat in excess of 10,000 °F, which melts both the material and the rod. As the flux melts, it releases an inert gas which shields the molten puddle from oxygen in the air and prevents oxidation. The molten flux covers the weld and hardens to an airtight slag cover that protects the weld bead as it cools. This slag must be chipped off to examine the weld.
Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW).
This method of welding was formerly called Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding and is an improvement over stick welding because an uncoated wire electrode is fed into the torch and an inert gas such as argon, helium, or carbon dioxide flows out around the wire to protect the puddle from oxygen. The power supply connects between the torch and the work, and the arc produces the intense heat needed to melt the work and the electrode. Low-voltage highcurrent DC is used almost exclusively with GMAW welding. GMAW is used more for large-volume production work than for aircraft repair.
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW).
This is the form of electric arc welding that fills most of the needs in aircraft maintenance. It is more commonly known as Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding and by the trade names of Heliarc or Heliweld. These trade names were derived from the fact that the inert gas originally used was helium.
Rather than using a consumable electrode such as is used in both of the other two methods we have discussed, the electrode in TIG welding is a tungsten rod. (In earlier procedures using this form of welding, a carbon electrode was used, but it has been replaced almost exclusively with tungsten.)
The 250+ amp arc between the electrode and the work melts the metal at 5,432 degrees F, and a filler rod is manually fed into the molten puddle. A stream of inert gas such as argon or helium flows out of the torch and envelopes the arc, thereby preventing the formation of oxides in the puddle.
The versatility of TIG welding is increased by the power supply that is used. Direct current of either polarity or alternating current may be used.
Electric-resistance welding
For aerospace welding, many thin sheet metal parts for aircraft, especially stainless steel parts, are joined by one of the forms of electric resistance welding, either spot welding or seam welding.
a. Spot Welding. Two copper electrodes are held in the jaws of the spot welding machine. and the material to be welded is clamped between them. Pressure is applied to hold the electrodes tightly together, and electrical current flows through the electrodes and the material. The resistance of the material being welded is so much higher than that of the copper electrodes that enough heat is generated to melt the metal. The pressure on the electrodes forces the molten spots in the two pieces of metal to unite, and this pressure is held after the current stops flowing long enough for the metal to solidify. Refer to MIL HDBK-5 for joint construction and strength data. The amount of current, pressure, and dwell time are all carefully controlled and matched to the type of material and the thickness to produce the correct spot welds.
b. Seam Welding. Rather than having to release the electrodes and move the material to form a series of overlapping spot welds, a seam-welding machine is used to manufacture fuel tanks and other components where a continuous weld is needed. Two copper wheels replace the bar-shaped electrodes. The metal to be welded is moved between them, and electric pulses create spots of molten metal that overlap to form the continuous seam.
Micro Resistance Welding
Welding today comes in many forms. One sector of the welding industry that is growing today as electronics and other devices shrink in size is the process of micro resistance welding. This is a thermal process where two parts to be joined are heated to the melting point and melted together, thus forming one body when the weld point cools. This process is similar to other types of thermal welding, but with several differences. The first of these differences is of course the size of the parts and components involved. Micro resistance welders are small units consisting of the welder itself which is a box with the electronics and controls for controlling the process, and the weld head which holds the micro electrodes and brings them into contact with the parts to be welded. The micro electrodes themselves are very small, often having tips, or contact points, as small as .010 of an inch square. The welders have very precision electrical current control and the heads have very precise force control to avoid breaking the fragile electrodes.
The three opposing electrode types of micro resistance welding include a straight-through, seam and projection welds. In a straight-through the electrodes are opposite each other on either side of the materials to be welded, and electrical current passes through the materials heating them at the intersection point, forming a weld. A seam weld is actually the same as the straight-through weld except that either the electrodes or the work-pieces are moved along to form a continuous series of overlapping spots. A projection weld derives its name from the fact that projections extend from one of the two surfaces. This technique is used for a number of reasons, such as decreasing the amount of energy required to make a weld, improving the heat balance when a thin piece is welded to a large piece, and to allow several welds to be made with one welding pulse.
The next two forms of micro resistance welding fall under the general heading of parallel gap welding. With this type of weld both electrodes approach the work-piece from the same direction. These techniques are especially useful where the opposite side of one of the pieces being welded has an insulated layer. The electrode arrangement in a series configuration allows weld current to flow down one electrode, through both materials and up the other electrode. With the step weld, one electrode touches each material and the current all flows across the material interface.
The first step to perform a micro resistance weld is to place the two parts on top of each other above a copper electrode. Then the weld head brings a top electrode down onto the point of weld, compression the two pieces together. With the two pieces squeezed together, electrical current is passed through the electrodes and the part at the point of intersection. The material heats rapidly, melting both pieces where they contact between the two electrodes. When the current is turned off, the molten zone cools and solidifies, forming a weld between the two pieces.
Micro resistance welding has many applications spanning nearly all areas of manufacturing, including automotive systems, aerospace, medical devices, and electronics. Micro resistance is used extensively in the electronics industry for welding small wires to other parts such as PCB pads. This type of welding is used in producing sensors, lights, battery packs, solar cells and smoke detectors, to name a few. In the automotive field micro resistance welding is used for lighting assemblies, airbag systems, electronic sensors, and ignition controls.
In conclusion, micro resistance is a popular option for joining small parts. It is low cost, clean, safe, and fast. These advantages make micro resistance welding a growing industry today.

Guidelines For MIG Welding Aluminum
MIG welding is a kind of arc welding that uses a metal electrode to match the alloy of the work section and an inert gas to transfer oxygen from the weld region. MIG welding is the most suitable welding technique for aluminum, with the exception of particularly thin aluminum sheeting.
MIG welding is a kind of arc welding that uses a metal electrode to match the alloy of the work section and an inert gas to transfer oxygen from the weld region. MIG welding is the most suitable welding technique for aluminum, with the exception of particularly thin aluminum sheeting. MIG welding aluminum needs more practice and skill than welding steel.
Prepare the surfaces of the aluminum elements by cleaning the exterior with a solvent, then using the wire brush to remove any oxides. This removes any constituent part and impurities and prevents them from becoming trapped in the weld.
Clutch the electrode at a 10- to 15-degree angle from the vertical, sharp toward the way of the weld. It is significant to use the push process when MIG welding aluminum. The pull process would prevent the argon gas from sufficiently covering the weld, resulting in an inconsistent weld.
Make a pool of molten aluminum with the electrode and gradually push the electrode forward. Regulate the voltage of the welding machine to get spray transfer of the aluminum electrode. In spray transfer, the electrode release small droplets of the metal into the weld. This will results in a smooth weld and the droplets do not get in the way with the electrode arc.
Adjust the movement speed of the electrode as the aluminum work part heats up to retain a consistent weld width. If a big fillet weld is requisite, make several thin passes as different to one thick pass, which has the potential to burn through the material.

Resistance-Spot Welding - Basic Application Setup
Resistance welding comes in many forms. Spot, seam, and projection are commonly used resistance weld processes. This article is going to focus on spot welding.
If you are concerned with a consistent quality of spot welding production then you need to understand that the three key principles are the time, the electrical current, and the pressure (electrode force - mechanical pressure). These three factors are closely related and need to be balanced in order for the operator to produce a quality bond between two pieces of metal with consistency. Electrodes conduct the current to the two pieces of metal to be fused as they are forged together.
The weld cycle must first build an adequate amount of heat through the electrical current and the time the current is applied to raise a small volume of molten metal from the work pieces to be bond. This molten metal is then allowed to cool while under the pressure of the electrodes until it has set at the maximum strength that the metal will allow to hold the parts together. This is referred to as the hold time on the welder.
If one of these parameters is changed without the proper adjustments to another, it may result in a poor bond.
Example: If the current is increased without an adequate amount of pressure it will result in an excessive weld splash. Conversely, a change in pressure without the corresponding changes in time and current may result in poor welds also.
The kva ratings of resistance welders are greatly impacted by various aspects of the machine set-up. When a part is very large and cannot be fit into a short set of spot welder arms - the arms may have to be extended or changed in order to accommodate the depth of the part. A spot weld weld machine with long arms for a deep entry of a product to be bonded will have a much greater electrical impedance than the same machine kva with a short set of arms. The resistance welder efficiency is greatly reduced by the electrical impedance.
Electrical impedance is the measure of the opposition that an electrical circuit presents to the passage of a current when a voltage is applied. In terms of resistance welding it is the increased resistance due to the greater distance and obstacles that the current needs to flow through to get to its destination (the welding electrodes).
Welding Tools - All You Need to Know
Tools are specifically used for some purpose to achieve or produce something and the welders need a proper tool to acquire a good control over the work.
Due to advancement in technology, products with portable and comfortable sizes are available and it enables the welders to the metals soon. To become a good welder or to become a famous entrepreneur in welding industry, knowledge about the welding tools is must. There are different types of such as mig, tig, stick and submerged arc, and each type of welding use different welding tools. Each type of welding uses different tools, so it is always better to have equipment that best suits and do all kinds of work.
From the decade, welding has been developed a lot with new welding technologies and with advanced welding equipment and systems. The welders should be aware of the latest welding technology and should be equipped with welding accessories and tools. Also, the welding industry should be equipped with modern tools such as welding electrodes, welding torches, welding consumables and welding guns and should follow the proper welding system with appropriate welding technology. The basic tool the welder use is a welding gun, it is a tool that does spot weld, tack weld and burns holes in metals and you can drill faster and make a spot within a second.
Welding torch is used to weld metals and the cutting torch is used to cut metals, rose-bud torch is used to heat metals for bending and straightening and injector torch is used to mix the two gases. If you are a tig welder, then know about the tig welder machines that is focused on user convenience and it exists in different types such as power tig 200DX, 250EX, 315DX, 225LX and power 1-tig 200. They are designed to weld any types of steel and stainless materials and it is easy to repair in the field and garage. Power arc welder exists in two types such as 200 welders and 160 welders. Smooth dc arc, low power consumption, high duty cycle with digital display and adaptive arc force control are its special features.
Mig welder exists in four types such as 160 welder, 200 welder, 205 welder and 250 p welder. They are Convenient and portable, with the help of this unit, you can go any where to get to the repair. Multi process units are completely redesigned for greater portability and convenience, the power ultra is ideal for using in the field for the spot repairs and quick fab jobs requiring basic tig, stick and/ or plasma processes. These units exists in six types such as powerultra 164, 185, 205 and powerpro 205, 226 and 256. The process of welding cannot be successful unless there are no proper accessories and parts. Accessories such as guns and torches, spool guns, welding helmets and gloves, welding carts and parts are important accessories in welding.

The Portable Rod Oven: An Indispensable Welding Tool
The portable rod oven is an indispensable welding tool to have while on the welding job. As one of the many welding accessories available to welders, the welding rod oven - also referred to as an electrode oven, hot box or welding electrode stabilizing oven - has been refined and redesigned over the years in order to accommodate welders that operate in a variety of challenging environments.
The portable range of rod ovens seeks to provide the welder a convenient means to maintain electrodes at optimum temperatures where the welding job may take them.
The portable rod holding oven is used all over the world for welding projects. This highly important tool comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. From round cylindrical shapes which stand upright, to rectangular models shaped like tool boxes, these valuable tools have been designed in many different ways to enhance the portability for welders.
The trend in welding rod oven design has been to increase the light weight nature of the product so that the user is not burdened with a heavy, cumbersome tool that is difficult to operate and bring to the field. Most rod ovens are made of painted steel and treated with a chemical resistant finish to protect against damage from chemicals and exposure to the elements.
For welder testing and approval, some states even require that a rod oven be used on site at all times for all low-hydrogen welding jobs. This demonstrates the importance of the rod oven as a welding tool in today's industry. Many problems can result in the weld if improper welding rod storage procedures are not followed on site such as porosity, hydrogen embrittlement and cracking.
Proper welding rod maintenance is absolutely essential in welding and should not be overlooked. Opened, low-hydrogen welding rod containers are unfortunately a familiar sight at welding jobs, with many welders not paying attention to the ramifications of improper storage. This can lead to many problems down the road, possibly costing many thousands of dollars in repair work and time.
Stick Welding Tips and Basics
If you want to learn stick welding it will take practice and a little patience to learn to do it in a way that will produce fine welds. This is an important thing to remember although some people may say they never had to practice much.
Stick welding is one of the basic methods of welding that many students learn as they are just beginning to learn welding. This is also a method of welding that is high in demand because people need this help whether they are working iron, pie, boilers or building ships.
You will find that you will need the skills of all types of positions including flat and horizontal and ventricle or overhead welding. All of these will take some time to learn and some will be more challenging than others.
Here are some tips to help you make a better weld:
1. The right electrode for the job -- many people aren't sure of the size of the electrode they should use and this is important to know. The size of the electrode will depend on the situation you are welding within. In this situation you will be fighting against gravity if you are doing the weld vertically so you will want to use an electrode that is AWS classified as 7018 because they are low in their powder content.
2. A weld shelf makes a good guide -- if you are doing vertical or horizontal welding you will need something that the electrode can follow so you don't loose any of it to gravity. You can do this by creating a serious of little shelves so you can do a section at a time so that you can continue to work above a weld that you have already laid. This will create a situation where one puddle will freeze in time to hold the next weld.
3. Don't undercut if possible -- this can happen because you have to weave the electrode and sometimes your work may be gouged and not have enough fill metal. When this occurs, you will be working against gravity because it will work to pull your fill metal away from the space you are working. You can reduce your puddle size to help you have more control in this situation.
4. Stay away from weird sizes for your metal -- most metal will come in specific sizes that are always common. These metals will be easier to find and you can weld them fester. Stick with the ones that are AISI-SAE 1015 to 1025 so that you can be sure that you have what you need.
5. Make sure you know your arc length -- a good rule of thumb is to use an arc length that is the same distance from the metal as your electrode's thickness. As an example, if you have an electrode that is ¼" thick, then have your arc ¼" thick. Also remember that as you use the electrode, you will have to move it closer to the metal.
These tips will help you develop a more even weld and keep things more controlled.

The Basics of TIG Welding Current Types and Polarity Settings
To begin TIG welding machines are designed to produce a constant amperage at all times and that means when you set the machine it is set in terms of amperage settings. The amperage output while welding rarely changes. What does change is the voltage depending on the length of the arc. The arc is how the voltage is regulated. The voltage will increase when the arc length is increased and at the same time the voltage will decrease when the arc is shortened. Ultimately a TIG welding power supply will always stay consistent on the amperage setting!
TIG welders produce two types of current. They are D/C or direct current and A/C or alternating current. Alternating current is typically used for welding aluminum and magnesium. Outside of these two metals A/C is rarely used. D/C or direct current is used on most other metals. This includes steel, stainless steel, copper, copper nickel, and most of the exotic metals.
Direct current has two polarity types. The two polarities are DCEN or direct current electrode negative and DCEP or direct current electrode positive. What electrode (-) negative means is the TIG torch is the (-) negative side of the circuit or terminal. On the electrode (+) positive side it means the TIG torch is the positive side of the circuit or terminal. Direct current is the same current type that a car battery produces. The way D/C works is the electricity flows in one direction only. That is it flows from the (-) negative side to the (+) positive side. Just remember the (-) negative side is the losing side and the (+) positive side is the gaining side.
The way direct current polarity applies to TIG welding is how much heat is concentrated on the tungsten electrode. If the machine is set on DCEN or direct current electrode negative 2/3 of the heat is concentrated on the weld joint. DCEN is also one of the reasons tungsten is able to produce such a high temperature arc without melting! On DCEP or direct current electrode positive 2/3 of the heat is concentrated on the tungsten electrode.
The way this applies to TIG welding depends on the thickness of the metal welded. Most of the welding done with TIG is on DCEN because the metal is on the thicker side. Here you want the majority of the heat to be on the metal welded. For most welding applications just remember that you want the TIG torch to be the (-) negative side of the circuit. When it comes to welding very thin sheet metal you may want to consider switching over to DCEP or direct current electrode positive (+). This will put most of the heat onto the tungsten electrode and keep the arc from burning up the sheet metal. In the case of DCEP you want to weld using low amperage setting otherwise the tungsten will also burn up! There is one other case you would want to set the machine to DCEP and that is to shape the tungsten into a ball end. DCEP will start to melt tungsten very quickly on this setting and that is why it is used to create ball shaped tungsten ends.

Arc Welding Process in a Nutshell
There has been an increase in the affordability and availability of arc welders that most of the people have a welder of their own. Many hobbyists also own portable arc welders. Before purchasing an arc welder, you need to know the requirements and the product that best suit the needs. Basically arc welding is one of the strongest methods of joining metals. During the welding process, an electric current allows an electric arc to melt the two metal pieces. A strong and solid bond is formed when a filler material mixes with the two metals. This process is inexpensive and it may vary depending on the shielding and filler material.
It must be noted that intense heat is used in all arc welder methods. An electrode or welding wire dispenses the heat in most of the cases. Usually electrode is more preferred as it is comparatively to change them by popping them out of the electrode holders. However there are advantages with each welding processes. In shielded metal arc welding, a welding rode in an electronic holder would be used. Shielded metal arc welding is also called as stick welding and it the most common and portable arc welder. In SMAW welding, an electrode with a metal core would be used. The flux around the core melts with the pieces that you are working on and fuse the metals.
If you are planning to weld thin metals, use gas metal arc weldings (GMAW). During the gas metal arc welder process, a gaseous shield would be used around the melted metal. Generally carbon dioxide and oxygen are the common gases used in GMAW welding. Hence there is another name for the welding; metal inert gas welding or MIG welding. In gas tungsten arc weldings, you need to apply the arc between a tungsten electrode and the work pieces. Tungsten inert gas welding is otherwise known as TIG welding. One of the advantages of TIG welding is that it doesn't always require the use of a filler material.
In flux core arc welding (FCAW), the welder fuses metal together with the arc welder. This is done by directing the high temperature arc between the filler metal electrode and the metals. In plasma arc welding (PAW), the metals are heated using a plasma gas from a torch and if necessary, additional shielding gas is used. If you want to produce fusion of metals, use submerged arc welding (SAW) process by heating metals between the arc and the work piece.
During any arc weldings process, the welder should take necessary precautions and wear protective clothing. Burns that is caused by the sparks while electric current enters the metal is the most common injury for welders. So the welder should wear protective clothing particularly wool clothing for safety. The light that the electrode produces is also dangerous as it emits significant amount of radiation. So it is necessary to wear a protective shield over the faces. Large quantity of heat is also produced when current passes into the metal. This heat generates fumes that can be hazardous. So welder should wear masks for protection.
