Evaluation of The Fillet Weld Shear Strength of Flux Cored ARC Welding Electrodes

Abstract

This paper presents results of a research project conducted by the Welding Engineering Dept. at Ingalls Shipbuilding. The primary effort of this project was directed towards the development of shear strength data for flux cored arc (FCAW) welding electrodes. The current welding design document for U.S. Navy construction, does not include fillet weld shear strength values for this widely used process. Presently, the equivalent shielded metal arc (SWAW) welding electrode values are used for design purposes.
