A weld wire for storage on a spool of weld wire, a method for making same, and an article of manufacture including a weld wire carried on a spool. The weld wire has a substantially linear cast in the form of an undulating curve including a succession of generally semi-circular sections having a generally fixed mean average radius of curvature of about 200 inches but not less than 80 inches. In one form, the cast has a radius of curvature in the range of about 100-300 inches. The linear cast is formed on the weld wire prior to the weld wire being wound onto the spool of weld wire. The linear cast is at least partially retained on the weld wire after the weld wire is unwound from the spool and during the feeding of the weld wire through a welding machine. The spool includes a hub portion having a diameter in the range of about 18-20 inches for carrying weld wire having a diameter in the range of about 0.035-0.062 inches. The present application pertains to the art of welding, and more particularly to welding wires used in welding machines.
A weld wire for storage on an associated spool of weld wire, said weld wire having a cast in the form of a succession of generally semi-circular sections defined along the length of the weld wire, said cast having a mean average radius of curvature of about 200 inches, and formed on the weld wire prior to the weld wire being wound on said associated spool and at least partially retained in said weld wire after the weld wire is unwound from said associated spool.
