Flux-Cored Wire for Low-Temperature Toughness in Critical Applications
September 1, 2015
"The new FabCO 812-Ni1M wire from Hobart has been formulated to provide excellent low-temperature impact toughness to reduce the risk of cracking in critical applications," said a company spokesperson.
"The new FabCO 812-Ni1M wire from Hobart has been formulated to provide excellent low-temperature impact toughness for critical applications, including offshore drilling rigs, transmission and process piping, jack-up rig fabrication and shipbuilding," said a company spokesperson. "Low diffusible hydrogen levels and low moisture pickup further mitigate the risk of cracking, even after wire exposure, and can reduce preheat requirements to minimize downtime for weld preparation. This gas-shielded low alloy wire consistently maintains good mechanical properties in the as-welded condition and after post-weld stress relief. It creates a weld deposit containing less than 1% nickel and less than 248 HV10 hardness, allowing it to meet NACE requirements demanded by many oil and gas applications."
Operating with a shielding gas blend of 70-80% argon and a balance of CO2, the FabCO 812-Ni1M wire creates welds with a tensile strength of 93,000 PSI and a yield strength of 80,000 PSI. The wire is designed to be usable for all-position welding for single- or multi-pass applications, and it is available in 0.045-, 0.052- and 1/16-inch diameters on 33-pound spools.
