Dual Shield B9 is an all position flux-cored wire designed to weld 9% Cr -1% Mo(P91) steels.
Dual Shield B9 is an all-position flux cored electrode designed for the welding of modified 9% chromium creep resisting steels, such as ASTM A335 Grade P91 or ASTM A213 T91. This product is formulated with a combined Mn & Ni <1.20% to meet stringent customer specifications.
Dual Shield B9 is packaged on layer level-wound wire spool baskets to allow the product to be placed in a heated storage oven. In addition, the wire is packaged in a vacuum-sealed foil bag to prevent moisture pick-up until such time the sealed bag has been opened.

Dual-Shield B9 was developed for the welding of the modified 9% Cr 1% Mo alloy modified with V, Nb and N and referred to as the '91' Grade in ASTM A213, A335 and specifications covering the same composition. Dual-Shield B9 was developed for welding in all positions and performs particularly well with automatic pipe welding equipment with excellent slag removal. It should be used with 75% Ar / 25% CO2 gases.
75% Argon/25% CO2
Dual Shield B9 has been formulated for use with 75% Argon / 25% CO2 shielding gas.This product operates well out-of-position, especially in the 6 o’clock position on pipe producing a flat to slightly convex weld bead. All product is available in both .045 in. (1.2 mm) and 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) diameters on 15 lb (6.8 kg) and 33 lb (15 kg) spools.
