WMS – Your source for

welding consumables.

ABOUT WMSWelding Material Sales was founded in 1978 by William C. De Paul, who was involved primarilyin the sale and distribution of specialized welding consumables.

In 1984, Mr. De Paul saw a growing need for small spools of welding wire. These spools would laterbe used with the new MIG welders that were being introduced into the US market via Italy. An all outeffort was organized to design the production equipment that would enable the company to produceand sell these spools. Welding Material Sales soon grew to become one of the major suppliers of theMIG small spooled welding wire and further expanded their facility in 1989 to meet the growing demands of the economy (for this product). In 1992 Welding Material Sales expanded again, allowing the company to introduce a new product line of manual electrodes and TIG welding wire. In addition to the new product line, the company developed a Point of Purchase display that wouldbe sold in the welding distributor market for their retail store operations.

In 1998 another 8,500 sq.ft. expansion was needed to meet the companies growing demands.Soon, the company grew to become one of the largest independent suppliers of retail and commercially packed welding consumables. Today the company employs approximately 50 people of whom which 80% are production personnel - proudly assembling in the USA!

WMS offers the welding industry's most complete line of welding and brazing filler metals, MIGconsumables, and entry level welding equipment. WMS also specializes in small point of purchasepackaging with corresponding merchandising display systems. Blue Demon brand products areavailable for shipment and/or will call from any of our four warehouses across the country. Private label and custom packaging are available to all customers.

Welding Material Sales, Inc. is committed to providing consistent quality, value-based products to itscustomers at the highest level of customer satisfaction available.

EWP (Pure) are unalloyed tungsten electrodes(99.5% tungsten minimum) and are non-radioactive. Their current-carrying capacity is lower than those of other tungsten electrodes. They provide good stability when used with AC, either balanced wave or continuously high frequency stabilized.They may be used with DC and also with either Ar or He, or a combination of both, as a shielding gas. They maintain a clean,balled end, which is preferred for aluminumand magnesium welding. These electrodeshave reasonably good resistance to contamination of the weld metal by the electrode, although the oxide containing electrodes are superior in this respect. EWPelectrodes are generally used on less criticalapplications, except for welding Al and Mg.The lower cost EWP electrodes can be usedfor less critical applications where some tungsten contamination of welds is acceptable.

The higher thoria content in the EWTh-2 electrode causes the operating characteristicimprovements to be more pronounced than in the lower thoria content EWTh-1. The additional thoria also provides about 20 percent higher current-carrying capacity,longer life and resistance to contamination of the weld. Should it be desired to use theseelectrodes for AC welding, then balling canbe accomplished by briefly, and carefully,welding with DC electrode positive prior towelding with AC. During AC welding, theballed end does not melt and so emission isnot as good as from a liquid ball on an EWPelectrode.

5000 rod can be used to weld a variety of ductile, nodular and malleable cast irons to themselves or for joining cast irons to steel. It produces a dense, moderately hard, crack-resistant weld that requires carbide-tipped tools for machining. This electrode isrecommended when the post weld depositdoes not need machining. Containing approximately 60% nickel, this rod is ideally suited for the repair of meehanite dies. Note, the flux coating on this rod does NOT contain barium, reducing hazardous fumes.

8000 chamfer electrode is designed for cutting, gouging and/or beveling all metals including stainless steels, aluminums and copper. It has excellent re-strike capability, the cut is smooth and uniform, and the slagpractically falls off. It operates on DC straightpolarity and requires high current. 8000 is excellent for the removal of stainless steeljoints and overlays. No oxygen is required.

Typical Applications• Removing unwanted or defective weld metal• Preparing parts prior to welding• Removing risers and reducing large areas of metal prior to machining

Air Carbon Gouging Electrodes (or carbons)are designed for cutting and gouging metalssuch as carbon steel, stainless steel, copper,aluminum, and some high temperature alloys.The process is one in which an air-carbon arctorch is used to create an electric arc whichmelts away the metal, then uses compressedair to “blow" the molten metal out of thegroove. Gouging carbons come in both copper coated and plain, and are also available jointed for continuous feeding operations. The copper coating improves conductivity offering more efficient and cooler operation.
