Description

All position basic flux cored wire for welding weathering steels
Flux cored wire with Ni-Cu-Cr additions mainly used for weathering steels. Applications include architectural structures, bridges and exhaust gas flues. The wire shows excellent weldability in flat and horizontal position, smooth and bright bead, very low spatter losses, easy to remove slag and exceptional mechanical properties even at low temperatures.

Application

This type of steel is primarily used for constructing structures with weather-resistant steels, thanks to precise control of copper addition. This ensures corrosion resistance three times higher and a more stable patina compared to traditional carbon-manganese (C-Mn) steel. Its applications include architectural structures, bridges, drainpipes, and chimneys. It is particularly effective against corrosion in seawater, especially in harsh arctic waters with high oxygenation and salinity. It is often used in the welding of microalloyed and C-Mn steels for icebreaker ships and offshore structures. It is essential to preheat based on the thickness of the joint and its restraint. Typically, the material is left in the 'as-welded' condition, without further treatments.

Alloy Type

Low alloy steel with Ni-Cu-Cr additions for welding weathering steels.

Microstructure

In the as-welded condition the microstructure is ferritic with a high proportion of acicular ferrite for optimum toughness.
