Detailed Product Description

Coreshield-8 is a self-shielding flux, cored wire that offers exceptional out-of-position welding charateristics making it ideal for: plate and tubular welding,bridge and building fabrication including seismic applications, also it is ideal for hull and stiffener welding for barges and ship construction. Operating on DCEN makes it suitable for use with fillet, open root gaps and fill and cover passes without limitation on plate thickness.Core shield 8 meets the strength and toughness requirements of AWS A5.20, D1.1 and D1.5 class E7IT-8, as well as Agency Approval to ABS and Det Norske Veritas IIIYMS (H-10). It is available in 1/16", 0.072", and 5/64 diameters.With a high depostion rate in out-of-postion welding, coreshield-8 has a fast freezing slag design to support the molten metal during welding and has an exceptionalarc action with extreme ease-of-use minimizing welder effort, with very lowBarium fumes generated(<0.5%/wt.). As with all welding processes, safety and protection for
