- Abstract
Electric arc welding is one of the basic technologies of industrial economy. The industrialized countries are characterized by a sustainable development of welding production and appearance of new technologies, welding equipment, as well as new consumables at the market. The main factors of wide application of welding technologies and surfacing using flux-cored wire in various industries and construction are high quality of welds and efficiency of welding process. The article presents analysis of the world and regional markets of flux-cored wire. In the world a steady growth in using mechanized and automatic welding and surfacing using powder consumables is observed. To meet the rising demand for flux-cored wire at the separate regional markets in a number of countries, new production capacities for its production are created. For example, in China, where rates of development of welding production are far ahead not only the industrialized countries but also certain regions, over the past decade new facilities for production of powder welding and surfacing consumables were put into operation. The level of mechanization and automation of arc welding is increased both in separate countries as well as around the world in general. The production capacities of Ukrainian producers allow completely satisfying the demand for flux-cored wire at the domestic market.
