SAF Steelcored 40 description: STEELCORED 40 is a seamless flux-cored wire electrode with basic slag for gas-shielded metal arc welding of unalloyed steels with yield strengths of up to 460 MPa. The weld metal is very crack resistant, good toughness down to -60C and very low hydrogen content. Stable operating characteristics and low spatter formation with short, spray and pulsed arc applications alike. Safe side wall fusion and very good gap bridging characteristics. Preferably used under mixed gas. The use of CO2 for short and spray arc processes is possible.
