FLUX-CORED WIRE IMPROVES WELDING QUALITY ON HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL
This wire provides excellent low temperature impact toughness, is ideal for offshore and structural applications, and offers 100 – 110 ksi tensile strength.
Hobart Brothers (Troy, OH) offers a welding wire designed for welding high strength steels that require good low temperature impact toughness. The FabCO® 107G all-position, gas-shielded flux-cored wire offers a tensile strength in the 100 to 110 ksi range in the as-welded or the post-weld heat-treated (PWHT) condition and is ideal for welding A514, A710, EQ56 and similar HSLA and Q&T steels found in offshore and structural applications.
The wire can also be used to weld 4130 chrome-moly or 8630 nickel-chrome-moly pipes, and provides excellent strength and toughness after PWHT (minimum 20 ft-lbs at minus 20 F). Hobart Brothers offers the wire in two diameters: 0.045 in and 0.052 in.
The FabCO 107G welding wire has a smooth, stable arc that produces an excellent bead profile and helps to minimize downtime for rework associated with quality issues. The welding wire also produces low spatter levels and has an easy-to-remove slag to help increase productivity and reduce post-weld cleanup.
To minimize the risk of cracking, the FabCO 107G wire also features low diffusible hydrogen levels (3.7 ml/100g with 100 percent CO2 for the 0.045-inch wire and 4.3 ml/100g with 100 percent CO2 for the 0.052-inch wire). FabCO 107G meets NACE MR0175 application requirements for both chemistry and hardness, as well as specifications for an AWS E101T1-GC H8 classification.
