ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced Coreshield 71T-8 OS, a self-shielded, flux-cored wire for all-position welding of critical structural applications, such as TKY joints in offshore construction, pipe structures, bridges, and storage tanks.
The wire features a diffusible hydrogen content lower than 8 ml/100 g and provides low-temperature impact toughness. As-welded mechanical properties include a Charpy V-notch strength of up to 127 ft.-lbs. at -40 degrees C and typical tensile strength of 521 MPa.
