Welding Processes

With Flux (Ceramic Ring)

Uses ceramic ferrule for protection during welding. Suitable for standard arc welding equipment. Provides consistent weld quality and penetration.

Without Flux (Gas Shielded)

Requires protective gas atmosphere during welding. Ideal for stainless steel applications where flux contamination must be avoided.
