Tru-Core® FC 71T-12M is a flux cored, gas shielded, all-position electrode, designed specifically for use with gas mixtures from 75% to 80% Argon/balance CO2. Tru-Core® FC 71T-12M is intended for single and multiple pass applications, for both in-position and out-of-position welding. Up to 80% Argon can be used with no degradation in welding performance or mechanical properties. The arc transfer is small-droplet in nature, with no appreciable spatter. The slag is fluid enough to provide good flow and wetting but freezes quickly, promoting flat, uniform bead shapes in all positions.
Microalloying of the weld metal enhances CVN impact values at lower temperatures.
MANUFACTURING ADVANTAGES: Patented forming, feeding and drawing equipment
Consistent strip-to-core ratio
Precise thermal treatment that controls the type, amount and uniformity of surface oxides on the wire
Consistent diffusible hydrogen levels
Applications
Tru-Core® FC 71T-12M can be used for welding most carbon steels and certain low alloy steels.
It is ideal for welding thicknesses varying from 10 gauge sheet metal to heavy plate sections, where “all position” welding capability, stable arc characteristics and excellent mechanical properties are needed.
