DUAL SHIELD T-5
Dual Shield T-5 is a basic slag flux-cored wire that produces crack resistant, highly ductile weld deposits. It is especially produces recommended for medium to heavy fabrication, using a number of mild steels.
Features
Dual Shield T-5 is a basic slag flux cored wire that produces crack resistant, highly ductile weld deposits. The small diameter wires, such as .045 & 1/16" diameters can be used out-of-position. The arc characteristics are globular but can be improved with the use of argon mixes. Dual Shield T-5 is recommended for medium to heavy fabrication of many mild steels where superior toughness and crack resistance are required. It is a good choice for mild steel or when being joined to quenched and tempered low alloy high strength steels. The weld metal analysis is similar to an E7018 or E7018-1 low hydrogen electrode.

Procedure
- This product should be run using a constant speed wire feeder and a constant potential power source. DCEN (electrode negative) should be used when welding out-of-position. This reduces penetration and minimizes the size of the puddle for optimum operator appeal. DCEP (electrode positive) should be used for flat and horizontal welding. The result will improve weld quality and reduce weld metal deposit costs. Trimix is recommended for out-of-position welding; Argon/CO2 mixtures can be selected for least spatter and post weld clean up cost.
