DUAL SHIELD R-70 Ultra

Dual Shield R-70 Ultra is a low-fuming, high-deposition E70T-9 flux cored wire. It is tested and certified to meet the new AWS A5.20 ‘D’ designation requirements, making this gas-shielded wire an excellent choice for demand critical welds when FEMA 353, D1.1 or D1.8 Seismic Supplement is utilized.

Features

This flux cored welding wire produces smoother arc characteristics and lower welding fumes than many competitive flux cored wires. Dual Shield R-70 Ultra is also designed to have a greater tolerance of mill scale and surface oxides. The notch toughness in the as welded condition is also improved. Bead contour is flat to slightly convex and slag coverage is complete. Dual Shield R-70 Ultra wire is designed for flat/horizontal single or multi-pass applications on low or medium carbon steels using 100% CO2 shielding gas. Areas of application include railcar, heavy equipment, and general fabrication.
