Additional Info
|
Benefits
- Developed to provide welds with low distortion, minimal spatter and high travel speeds
- Produces a good fusion profile with a superior weld finish, which is shiny, smooth and has a flat surface appearance
- The addition of helium ensures good penetration and helps produce welds that are defect-free
Applications Summary
- Commonly used in the MIG welding of components in the thickness range of 3mm to 10mm
- Suitable for both manual and automatic applications
- Used with austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex stainless steels to weld pipework and panelling such as blast walls
- Suitable for dip, spray and pulse transfer
- In automatic and robotic applications, high welding speeds achieved by Stainshield Universal are important for high production rates and cost-efficiencies
- Higher mechanical properties can be achieved when using Stainshield Universal than argon/oxygen or argon/carbon dioxide mixtures
- High-integrity welds such as those required by the nuclear industry
