CORESHIELD 6
Coreshield 6 is an E70T-6 self-shielded flux-cored wire designed for flat and horizontal welds requiring Charpy V-notch properties. It is tested and certified to meet the new AWS A5.20 ‘D' designation requirements, making it an excellent choice for demand critical welds when FEMA 353, D1.1 or D1.8 Seismic Supplement is utilized.
Features
Coreshield 6 is a high productivity, high deposition gasless flux cored wire. This self-shielded wire is ideal for single or multiple pass weld applications in addition to providing high deposition rates, low spatter, and good penetration. Because of its stiffer weld puddle, Coreshield 6 offers exceptional multi-pass weld stacking characteristics, produces excellent bead appearance and X-ray quality weld deposits.
Coreshield 6 is run DCEP (electrode positive).
