Oerlikon Cristal F206 description: CRISTAL F206 is a new low fume metal cored wire which generates less welding fume than standard products. It enables a fume emission rate reduction from 50% (Standard shielding gas M21) up to 80% (shielding gas M14). High current carrying capacity, almost spatter-free when welding in the spray-arc range. Good restriking, even with a cold wire tip, thus being suitable for robotic applications. Characteristic features: high deposition rate and welding speed, good side wall fusion, finely rippled welds, without undercut into the base metal, not even on contaminated or corroded metal surfaces. Little formation of silicates on the weld surface, so that multi-pass welds can made without inter-run cleaning. Due to an easily controllable weld pool in the short-arc range, CRISTAL F 206 is well-suited for root- and positional welding and gap bridging.
