New dimensions for the manufacture of C02 welding wires

$15.00

C02 welding wires get a copper-cladding in order to ensure a good current passage in the welding unit. A very simple cladding method is the currentless coppering of steel wire. As you probably know, this is done in a bath with sulfuric copper vitriol solution. If a steel wire is immersed into this solution, the ions of the more precious metal copper deposit on the steel wire.
