Flux-cored wires

New from ESAB are three new Dual Shield all-position rutile flux-cored wires for welding creep-resisting steels in applications where elevated temperatures are encountered, such as in the power generation sector. Dual Shield MoL, CrMo1 and CrMo2 are suitable for welding, respectively, 0.5%Mo, 1.25%Cr/ 0.5%Mo, and 2.25%Cr/1%Mo creep-resisting steels with an Ar/CO2 mixture shielding gas.

Developed to be very welderfriendly, the Dual Shield wires are characterised by excellent weldability, with a soft, spatter-free arc that ensures good penetration and wetting; the slag is easily removed to reveal flat beads with a smooth appearance.
