Wire caSt aNd helix
Product deScriPtioN:National Standard offers a variety of solid welding wires to meet the needs of today’s welding applications. Whether you are looking for individual spools to support your composite welding machine and feeder system or operating hundreds of robots in a production environment, National Standard has a solid welding wire that will maximize your productivity, reduce downtimes associated with change-outs and provide pay-off systems that product quality welds. Our flexibility in welding wires insures that your National Standard Welding Wire purchase is tailored to your needs.
NS Premium Weld Wire characteriSticS:
consistent cast and helix yield Weld uniformity Improper wire cast and helix reduces weld quality and adds to direct labor and factory overhead costs. Small cast and large helix causes the wire to exit the welding gun (contact tip) in constantly varying directions. It also causes downtime due to wire feeding problems. Too large a cast will cause downtime on some equipment due to inconsistent current pickup at the contact tip resulting in inconsistent wire positioning.
Helix is most detrimental when it is inconsistent and varies throughout the spool. This condition can result in arc wander. The amount of wire deflection due to excessive helix increases as cast decreases or as welding stick-out increases.
NS cast and helix characteristics exceed aWS Standards
National Standard’s controlled cast and helix helps our wire yeliminate excessive contact tip and liner wear, reduce arc wander and improve wire feedability. Manufactured in the USA according to ISO9001:2000 quality ystandards

caSt is the diameter of the circle formed by a length of wire thrown loosely on the floor. Cast is normally checked before it enters the wire feed system.
helix is the “pitch” of a single strand of weld wire measured as the distance one end of a strand of wire laying on a flat surface rises off that surface. Helix is normally checked before it enters the wire feed system.

Weld Wire deSigN
Product deScriPtioN:National Standard produces a Matte Finished Welding Wire that is the result of forty-five years of weld wire development. Our engineered finish is designed to provide exceptional feedability in the most demanding conditions combined with outstanding arc characteristics. Its this extra performance that makes National Standard Weld Wires “best in class” and demanded in the most difficult welding applications and environments.
eNgiNeered fiNiShHighly polished metal surfaces exhibit high contact angles ywith liquids (water beading up on a waxed car hood). Textured surfaces allow liquids to “soak” into the texture (high contact angles aren’t an issue since the surface has a variety of angles on a microscopic scale). It is easier to put adequate lube on matte wire.On a microscopic scale, slightly roughened surfaces in contact yexhibit lower friction than two highly polished surfaces in contact. Both textured and roughened surfaces contribute to lower feed yforce requirements as exhibited by National Standard welding wires versus competitors.Micro-arcing from surface roughness may be a factor in tip ywear, extensive testing by National Standard points to copper thickness and resulting tip temperature to be the main contributor to tip wear.Darker areas on Exhibit A and B indicate lubricants used yto promote better feedability. Exhibit A appears as streaks and blotches while National Standard wire in Exhibit B clear demonstrates the lubrications penetration of our engineered finish.

SaviNg PeNNieS aNd SPeNdiNg dollarSNational Standard often finds customers in a position to save pennies on their wire costs only to turn around and spend dollars on other costs associated with the welding process. Typically the welding process is made up of the following elements:
loWer Weld Wire coSt ≠ loWer total coSt of WeldiNg The assumption necessary to achieve the above is that all other costs remain the same. In situations were the weld wire cost is the only focus, NS often finds that the total cost of welding increases dramatically as a result of saving a penny or two. Other factors increasing the total cost of the weld are often hidden in the organization until long after the decision to save the penny has resulted in spending many dollars. Other factors to consider would be changes in downtime, rework, scrap, consumable usage, employee job satisfaction and customer (your customer) satisfaction.
all Weld Wire is Not the SameAll weld wire sold in North America must meet the specifications of the AWS (American Welding Society) or CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau) at a minimum and for the most part all competitors comply. However, the chemistry associated with these standards is wide and open to vast differences in performances for operators. National Standard for instance has developed a very specific set of chemistry specifications for its products that are designed to address the demands of our welding customers, the nuances of different welding applications and also meet the specifications of AWS & CWB. The key to National Standard wires is consistency, consistency to our own demanding specifications, consistency versus AWS & CWB specifications and consistency to our customers over time. That is quite a bit different then a welding wire that just claims to meet the AWS & CWB specifications and can still be in specification yet perform vastly different from spool to spool due to chemistry variations, lubrication variances and differences in other critical weld wire attributes.
PackagingPackages like the National Standard Tru-Trac™ wood reel delivery system are often thought of as just another wood reel. While this may be true from a purchasing perspective, it is definitely not apples to apples from a welding perspective leading to added costs for handling, decreased productivity and quality issues.
