Compared with a solid welding wire, the flux-cored welding wire has the advantages that alloy elements of the flux-cored welding wire are transferred into a welding seam in the welding process through a flux core in a steel sheet, so that the content of alloy components is convenient to adjust, and the solid welding wire needs to be smelted again when the alloy components are adjusted once; in addition, in the drawing process of the solid welding wire, the drawability of some steel ingots is poor, and the solid welding wire is not easy to be drawn into the required welding wire.

Tungsten grade has a small amount of melting and evaporation during TIG welding, tungsten particles enter a molten pool to cause tungsten clamping, welding quality is affected, TIG welding has limited bearing current, electric arc is easy to expand and is not easy to concentrate, and the penetration depth of a welding line is small.
