GMAW-P 80S-B2 Filler wire

[JRayMechWelding]

I would like to address this thread to Mr168 thread725-268321
In his last comment he states “Manganese levels are right at 1%. Thankfully, the wire is an EN standard common over in Europe, so it was readily available not taking into account the shipping/customs delays.” I have shared similar results with respect to porosity using some of the higher quality brands of filler material and experimenting with various gas compositions, I have been successful in limiting the amounts of porosity to minimal small single pores that are acceptable per code. I have occasional welds that are completely free of porosity. I would prefer consistently porosity free welds. Mr168, You seem to have achieved this, Would you mind sharing with me the name of this wire and where to purchase.

Hello JRayMechWelding, luckily I saw your post while perusing the boards! I'm rarely able to spend much time on here these days, so I apologize for the delay.

The wire I had success with was Lincoln LNM 19, which is the CrMo1Si classification. The product came through Lincoln Nordic Finland. I have not had the opportunity to work with that wire since that particular project, but would not hesitate to do so again. Hope this helps!
