Flux-Cored Wire Offers Alternative to Stick Welding
Lincoln Electric has added four new gas-shielded, flux-cored wires to
its UltraCore line to offer an alternative to stick welding. UltraCore
Nickel 1 (Ni 1 A75-H) wire replaces stick electrodes and is designed
for high-strength, low-alloy applications using a 75% argon/25% CO2
mix. The use of mixed shielding gas stabilizes arc characteristics,
reduces spatter levels and washes out the weld bead for a flat
appearance. Exhibiting robust impact properties, this wire also offers
superior crack resistance due to low diffusible hydrogen levels, even
with a notch offset of 2.5 mm from the weld centerline. The second new
UltraCore Nickel 1 product (Ni 1 C-H) extends Lincoln's line of carbon
steel UltraCore products. It is designed for high-strength, low-alloy
applications requiring 100% CO2. UltraCore Nickel 2 (Ni2 A75-H and
Ni2C-H) wires offer welders the same advantages as the other wires,
with UltraCore Ni2 A75-H including a 75% argon/25% CO2 mix, while the
Ni2 C-H is 100% CO2. These two wires are specifically designed for
mining, offshore, bridge fabrication and high-strength fabrication
applications. The UltraCore gas-shielded, flux-cored wire product line
works for fillet, lap and butt welds on single and multi-pass welding
applications. It provides superior arc characteristics and bead shape
and allows for easy slag removal and exceptional puddle control for
out-of-position welding. UltraCore wire is shipped in moisture
resistant vacuum-sealed foil bags, offering additional protection from
contamination.
