Shield-Bright stainless cored wires from ESAB
Latest Shield-Bright stainless cored wires from ESAB are rutile types for excellent weldability on conventional non-pulsing power sources under Ar/CO2 mixed gas and CO2 shielding gas.
Always operating in the smooth spray arc mode, they are ‘welder-friendly’ wires with a very low spatter level. The slag is self-lifting or easily detached, leaving behind clean flat weld surface with a good penetration and very smooth wetting onto the plate edges.
The all-positional Shield-Bright wires have a fast freezing slag to support the weld metal. This enables deposition rates in positional welding that cannot be equalled by stick electrodes or solid wires.
Typical positional welding defects, such as lack of fusion and slag inclusions, are avoided due to the spray arc operation. And ESAB says the ShieldBright X-tra range is ideal for downhand and horizontal vertical fillet welding, having a slow freezing fluid slag to allow high travel speeds.
