DETAILS

ULTRACORE® stainless flux-cored wires deliver consistent mechanical properties, superior arc performance, easy slag removal

Feature.Products.PDP.DetailsMain.Features

  • Precision layer wound spool delivers steady spool payoff and more consistent feeding
  • Smooth arc action with minimal spatter reduces post-weld cleaning
  • Polished weld bead appearance reduces post-weld brushing

Feature.Products.PDP.DetailsMain.TypicalApplications

  • Suitable for Ti or Nb stabilized and nitrogen-bearing versions of the above alloys
  • Applications requiring good resistance to pitting and general corrosion
  • Best choice for food-grade stainless containers and surfaces; higher Ni & Mo provide better corrosion resistance to chlorides (i.e. salt) and acids (i.e. tomato or lemon juice).
  • Chemical Processing
