Characteristics and field of use
Rutile flux cored wire with fast freezing slag for welding low-temperature steels. Outstanding
welding properties in all positions. Exceptional mechanical strength and good slag detachability,
low spatter losses, smooth, finely rippled seam surface, notch-free weld toes.
Out-of-position welding can be carried out with increased welding current, and therefore
very economically with increased deposition rate. For high-quality welding in shipbuilding,
for offshore applications and steel structures with high strength requirements, as well as for
low-temperature applications down to – 60 °C.
