    The document discusses deposition efficiency, which is the percentage of electrode used that is deposited as weld metal. It provides the formula to calculate deposition efficiency as the weight of weld metal deposited divided by the weight of electrode used. It also discusses gas flow rates needed for different types of electrodes. Specifically, it recommends 25-30 cubic feet per hour for solid wires and 35-45 cubic feet per hour for flux cored electrodes depending on diameter. Finally, it mentions that a cost analysis form can be used to compare the costs of different welding methods and electrodes.

    Electrodes
    E. Deposition Efficiency

    The deposition efficiency is the relationship of the electrode used to the amount of the weld metal
    Stainless deposited expressed in percent, or:
    Steel
    Products DE = Weight of Weld Metal
    Weight of Electrode Used.
    Solid Wire
    & Rod For instance, if it takes 4 lbs. of electrode to deposit
    Products 3 lbs. (1.4 kg) of weld metal, E = 3/4 = .75 or 75%.
    F. Gas Flow Rate (Cubic Feet/Hour)
    ESAB For GMAW with solid wires use a shielding gas flow rate of 25 to 30 cubic feet per hour. For small
    TIG & MIG
    Wires diameter flux cored electrodes (1/16” or 1.6 mm diameter and under) use 35 cubic feet per hour. For
    large diameter flux cored electrodes (5/64 and over) use 40-45 cubic feet per hour.

    Cored G. Gas Cost Per Cubic Foot


    Wire
    Gas cost per cubic foot will vary depending on the type of shielding gas being used and your location.
    Products
    3. Complete the calculations in the “Proposed Method” and “Present Method” columns and record the
    Submerged calculated costs in the blanks on the far right, (5) & (6) of each column.
    Arc 4. Add the calculated cost and record the sums at the bottom, (7) & (8) of each column.
    Products
    5. Subtract “Present Method” cost (6) from “Proposed Method” cost (5) for each of the sections titled “Labor
    & Overhead”, “Electrode”, and “Gas”. Enter the differences in the blanks indicated at right (5 minus 6).
    Hard-

    Products Filler Metal
    Consumption 6. In the “Total Variable Cost/lb” section, subtract “Present Method” cost (8) from “Proposed Method” cost
    (7). Enter the difference in the blank indicated as “Total”. Negative numbers should be enclosed in
    StubLoss
    Correction parenthesis “( )”.
    Calculations
    Electrode/Wire A (negative) number in “Total” represents the cost reduction you will realize as a
    Consumption dollar saving per pound of weld metal deposited.

    Filler Metals Worksheet 7. The bottom section of the form will be useful if you must buy new equipment to use the proposed
    ASTM product. That part of the form is self-explanatory with the exception of the “DEPOSITION FACTOR”. The
    Steels Weight/Foot
    Weld Metal deposition factor is simply the deposition rate multiplied by the operating factor and is already a part of
    the calculation as shown at (9) in the labor and overhead formula for the proposed method.
