	8 FAQs about orbital FCAW: Maximizing a productivity tool for large pipe welding By: John Emmerson Mechanized pipe GTAW was first introduced about 50 years ago for nuclear power plants, and then for steam-generation components and process piping. Orbital FCAW was developed to overcome the limitations of orbital GTAW for large-diameter, heavy-wall pipe. With orbital FCAW, deposition rates of 8 lbs./hr. are achievable. Just as a power saw is a tool for a carpenter, orbital welding systems are a productivity tool for the welder that empower him or her to weld faster and more accurately.

	FCAW pretty much can do it all By: Marty Rice, Contributing Writer FCAW not only is easy to teach and to use, it's one of the most flexible welding processes around. Publish date: September 26, 2002 Tech cell: Arc Welding
	Considering change: A new approach to FCAW By: Mike Vandenberg and Tim Hensley Gas-shielded flux cored arc welding (FCAW) is known for its high deposition rates and out-of-position welding capability in heavy manufacturing and fabrication applications. In an industry often averse to change, many companies consider their current FCAW practices and equipment as trustworthy family members: always reliable, with no reason to change.

	The lowdown on low-alloy filler metals: Your options for welding chrome-moly pipe By: Keith Packard and Bruce Morrett When welding a chromium-molybdenum alloy, selecting the optimal filler wire is critical to the long-term durability of the weld. Fortunately, matching the filler metal to the alloy is no more difficult than it is for matching a filler metal to any other family of alloys. Understanding the chemical and mechanical properties of the materials can go a long way in making strong, corrosion- and creep-resistant welds. Publish date: June 17, 2008 Tech cell: Arc Welding
