CORESHIELD 8 SELFSHIELD
Unitor Coreshield 8 is designed for the Self Shielded Wire welding of 5 mm and thicker steel. It has excellent low temperature impact toughness. Recommended for single and multi-pass welds. Ideal for fillet welding. Deposit rate up to 3 kg/h, out of position. Size diam. 1.6 mm is recomÂmended for welds where it is necessary to produce wider passes (weave technique) and for welding plate with contaminations such as oil, rust, paint or primer.
Coreshield 8 generates a fast freezing slag which supports high deposit rates. This feature results in fast joint speeds for economical welding in the flat position. The superior arc action and handling of Coreshield 8 make it a high operation appeal electrode. The Coreshield 8 also has excellent slag removal. On many applications the slag is self peeling.
Typical applications:
General plate welding, including hull plate and stiffener welding on ships, rebuilding pitting corrosion in cargo and ballast tanks.
