Stainshield Heavy
 |
|
Additional Info
|
Benefits
- Provides good, deep fusion profiles with high travel speeds, flat weld bead profiles resulting in lower wire usage and lower fabrication costs
- Good arc stability is achieved producing low spatter, good weld appearance and a reduction in risk of fusion defects
- Can help to produce X-ray-quality welds
Applications Summary
- Widely used in the MIG welding of components in the thickness range of 10mm and above
- Suitable for both manual and automatic applications for use with austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex stainless steels
- Ideal for welding thick sections and has been developed for spray and pulse transfer
- Can also be used for welding pipework and stainless steel structures
The following tabled data provides you with a guide to materials and welding processes with which Stainshield Heavy can be used:
