ESAB Adds Two Additional Wires To Dual Shield X-Series

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has added two additional wires to its popular Dual Shield X-Series flux cored wires. The X-Series wires are more forgiving than traditional flux cored wires, especially for less experienced welders, with an easily controlled arc and improved operation at both lower and higher current levels. Dual Shield X wires also offer high deposition rates, fast travel speeds, flat bead profile, limited spatter and extremely easy slag removal for overall productivity, ease of use and outstanding operator appeal.

Dual Shield 810X-Ni1 is an all-position one percent Nickel flux cored wire for general purpose welding of low alloy steel. Dual Shield 810X-Ni1 is designed for use with 100 percent CO₂ and is an excellent choice for welding on CORTEN steel in applications where weathering grade wires are not desirable. Common applications include power transmission, bridges, shipbuilding, railroad cars, barges, light equipment/heavy structural and general fabrication. This wire meets AWS A5.29; E81T1-Ni1C classifications, is certified by C.W.B. - CSA W48 and is certified for seismic applications.

Dual Shield 710X-M is an all-position flux cored wire for general purpose welding of mild steel. Dual Shield 710X-M is designed to be used with a 75/25 Argon/CO₂ gas mix; however, pure CO₂ may also be used. Typical applications include railroad cars, shipbuilding, barges, light equipment, civil construction and general fabrication. Classifications and approvals include AWS A5.20; E71T-1C-D/T-9C-D; AWS A5.20; E71T-1M/T-9M; ASME SFA 5.20; A.B.S., and C.W.B. - CSA W48. This wire is certified for seismic applications.

With more than 100 years of experience, ESAB Welding & Cutting Products is one of the world's largest and most skilled manufacturers of welding and cutting equipment and welding filler metals.
