DUAL SHIELD 8000-NI2
Dual Shield 8000-Ni2 is an all-position flux cored electrode that deposits 2.5% Ni deposit with an 82 ksi (565 MPa) minimum tensile strength. Dual Shield 8000-Ni2 may be used with CO2 or argon mixtures. The argon-CO2 mixtures reduce spatter and further improve weldability especially for small vertical-up fillets. Dual Shield 8000-Ni2 produces superior weld metal properties which make it most desirable for such applications as shipbuilding and heavy machinery construction. The weld metal analysis is similar to an E8018-C1 low hydrogen electrode.
