The ABC’s of Arc
Welding
1-1. Calculation of the welding consumables consumption
Fundamentals of CO2
Arc Welding The consumption of welding consumables needed for welding a fillet weld with a leg length of(cm) can
approximately be calculated by the following formula.
Welding of Medium /

High Carbon Steels and Calculation formula :

Special Steels
［Leg length (cm) x Leg length (cm)］÷2
Welding of Stainless ×Reinforcement factor*1 = Weld metal cross sectional area (cm2)
Steel ［Weld metal cross sectional area (cm2)］×Weld bead length (cm)

×7.85g/cm3 (Density of iron) = Deposited metal’s mass needed (g)

Welding References
Deposited metal’s mass needed (g)÷Deposition efficiency (%)×100
= Welding consumables consumption (g)

Textbooks of Welding
*1 The reinforcement factor is 1.2 for calculation for the fillet weld shown in thefigure below.

Deposition efficiency：the ratio

ofdeposited metal mass to the
consumedwelding consumables mass
Solid wire 95%
Flux−cored wire 90%
Covered electrode 55%

1-2. Estimation of the welding consumables consumption

Butt welding

The estimated welding consumables consumption data for single−V groove butt welding joints are shown in the
following.

The estimation data in the following pages have been calculated for single−V groove with a range of plate
thicknesses (6～22mm), groove angles, root gaps,and root face sizes.

*1 The consumption of flux−cored wires (DW type) should be

calculated by multiplying that of solid wires by 1.05.
