SAF Steelcored M 8 description: STEELCORED M 8 ia a seamless copper coated metal cored wire with outstanding welding characteristics in the short-arc and spray-arc ranges depositing slag free weld metal. 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, even on contaminated or corroded metal surfaces. Little formation of silicates on the weld surface, so multi-pass welds can made without inter-run cleaning. Due to an easily controllable weld pool in the short-arc range, STEELCORED M 8 is well-suited for root- and positional welding and gap bridging.
