FCAW wire for thick walled pipe
FCAW wire for thick walled pipe
(OP)
Hi
We have a project coming where we will be site welding pressure piping up to 20mm thick. We use FCAW procedures but think there may be better wires out there for laying in the metal on these big welds.
Can any one recommend a wire for this type of work?
Thank
Kevin

If you must weld with the self shielded wires, I would recommend ESAB's Core Shield 8, which has good ductility and excellent operating characteristics with both uphill and downhill progression when using constant voltage, inverter power supplies. It is classified as E71T-8. Slag is easily removed and fuming is minimal.
