Thanks for the info. I work for a weld machine integrator. Unfortunately we have situations where you cannot avoid spatter buildup on tooling simply due to the amount of weld volume and proximity to tooling. Anti-Spatter spray is an option but unfortunately many companies we deal with are very...

Can anyone recommend any GMAW spatter resistant materials? Typlically we use elkonite or brass for spatter guards. We are looking for an alternative material, coating, etc that may be more cost effective and provide sufficient or better results. Thanks Jeff

Can you recommend any materials that are more resistant to GMAW weld spatter? In the past we have used elkonite and brass but we are not sure if they are really any better then less expensive hot rolled or colled rolled materials. I am planning on doing an experiment but would like other...

Does anyone have any insight on the term "weldability range"? Thanks

I curently have a material specification sheet that has some parameters for Resistnace Spot Welding USIBOR 1500P material. It states the minimum current (12.3 kA), maximum current (13.7 kA) and weldability range (1.9 kA). What does the weldability range value mean?
