Esab Dual Shield II 100 description: Dual Shield II 100 is an all-position flux cored electrode that combines a high strength deposit with excellent impact toughness and low diffusible hydrogen levels. The rutile basic slag system produces a smooth spray-like transfer with reduced spatter and low post weld cleanup. Dual Shield II 100 is designed to join high strength steels such as HY-80 and T-1 the as welded or stress relieved condition using a 75% Ar / 25% CO2 shielding gas. It is especially well suited for high tensile steels that are used in sub-zero temperatures. The weld metal analysis is similar to an E10018-M low hydrogen electrode.
