30 SHIELD-BRIGHT®
and SHIELD-BRIGHT X-tra Gas
Shielded Flux Cored Stainless Steel Wires Shield
Bright — All-Position Shield-Bright
wires were specially developed for out-of-position welding. They are unsurpassed
for vertical- up
joints and work equally well in the overhead position. These electrodes will deposit
out-of-position welds at
substantially higher welding currents than other stainless steel flux cored, all-position
electrodes, resulting in
a higher deposition rate. The
.035” (0.09mm), .045” (1.2mm) and the 1/16” (1.6mm) diameters perform
equally well on out-of-position joints.
Shield Bright X-tra — Flat and
Horizontal Shield-Bright
X-tra was specially developed for highly cosmetic flat and horizontal weldments.
The self- releasing
slag and finely rippled bead resembles welds made with both covered electrodes
and mig wire. Deposition
rates can exceed 19 lbs/hr. (8.6 kg/hr.). Diameters include .035” (0.9mm),
.045” (1.2mm), and 1/16”
(1.6mm). Shielding
Gases Shield-Bright
and Shield-Bright X-tra electrodes were formulated for use with Argon mixtures
up to 75% Argon
shielding gas; however, straight CO2 may also
be used. The 75/25 mixture will produce a smoother arc
with virtually no spatter and slightly higher yield and tensile strengths than
CO2. The mechanical properties
and deposit analyses will meet AWS A5.22 specifications with either gas.
