RE: Filler Metals
In addition to the different F No. essential variable, the welding process changes. F6 is solid, metal cored or flux cored wires used in GTAW, GMAW or FCAW process. F5 is coated electrodes used for SMAW process. Or were you intending to use the coated electrode with the GTAW process? If so, reconsider and do not use!!
