The Coreshield 71T-8 OS Self-Shielded Flux Cored Wire is for all-position welding of critical structural applications, such as TKY joints in offshore construction, pipe structures, bridges, and storage tanks. It features a diffusible hydrogen content lower than 8ml/100g and provides excellent low temperature impact toughness. As-welded mechanical properties include a Charpy V Notch strength of up to 172J at -40°F (-40°C) and typical tensile strength of 521 MPa (76 ksi).
ESAB will initially offer Coreshield 71T-8 OS wire in a diameter of 2000 ?m (2 mm) on 8 in. (200 mm) plastic spools. In the future, ESAB will offer additional wire diameters and a 12 in. (300 mm) spool option. The wire comes in a vacuum-seal package to prevent moisture absorption and preserve its low hydrogen content.
- For critical structural applications such as TKY joints for offshore construction, pipe structures, bridges, and storage tanks
- Designed to provide excellent low temperature impact toughness down to -40°F (-40°C)
- Maintains great arc characteristics, high welder appeal, and easy slag removal in all welding positions
