CONFORMANCES AND APPROVALS:

• AWS A5.28, E80C-Ni1 H4
• AWS A5.28M, E55C-Ni1 H4
• ASME SFA 5.28, E80C-Ni1 H4
• DNV-GL, 75-80% Ar/Balance CO2, IV Y46MS (H5)
• CWB, 75-80% Ar,Balance CO2, E55C-Ni1-H4 (E80C-Ni1-H4)

• Maintaining a proper welding procedure - including pre-heat and interpass temperatures - may be critical
depending on the type and thickness of steel being welded.
• For out of position welding, short circuit or pulsed spray transfer mode must be used.
• Pulse waveforms are designed with nominal operating points that may result in average voltage and current
values that differ from the above table. Generally, pulse processes can be expected to produce lower heat
inputs than a standard CV process.
• See Above: This information was determined by welding using 95% Ar/5% CO2 shielding gas with a flow rate between35-50 cfh (17-24 l/min). For the higher CO2 shielding gas mixtures within the recommended range, increase listed voltages by 1-3 volts.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Unique seamless wire manufacturing process
• Seamless wire provides low moisture pick-up and weld metal hydrogen 
• Excellent low-temperature impact toughness
• Metal-cored electrode capable of providing increased deposition rates than solid wire
• Excellent wetting and gap-bridging capabilities
• Provides very consistent chemical and mechanical properties

• Minimizes risk of hydrogen cracking, even after considerable atmospheric exposure• Minimizes risk of cracking in many critical applications

• Helps to increase travel speed and productivity• Suitable for use with automated/mechanized equipment, and root-pass welds without backing
