For Mild Steel and 490MPa High Tensile Strength Steel

Welding of mild steel and 490MPa high tensile strength steel for machinery, structures, steel frames, ships, bridges, towers, chemical engineering apparatus, rolling stock and cans.

CHARACTERISTICS
NITTETSU SF-1 is a rutile type seamless flux cored arc welding wire to be used with CO2 shield gas. Arc is stable, spatters are few and bead is smooth with good shape and appearance since easily removable slag covers bead evenly. The diffusible hydrogen content is as low as that of solid wires since the wire has no seam and, consequently, weld metal shows excellent crack resistance. Welding fume is also less. It assures high welding efficiency since deposition rate is high and all-position welding is easily performed with almost the same current.

GUIDELlNES FOR USAGE

1. Any welding machine for solid wire can be used as it is, but wire feed rollers pressure should be adjusted a little looser. 2. A suitable shield gas flow rate is 20~25/min. 3. Distance between base metal and tip should be kept within 20~30mm. 4. Arc voltage should be 1 or 2 volt lower than that for conventional flux cored wires and 4 or 5 volt lower than that for solid wires. 5. NITTETSU SB-41, backing material, is recommended for one side welding. n TYPICAL CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF WELD METAL ( % ) Shield Gas CO2 C 0.06 Si 0.50 Mn 1.40 P 0.015 S 0.010

Low hydrogen type electrode for vertical downward butt and fillet welding. Welding efficiency is twice as high as vertical upward welding since high current is used. Weld metal shows high crack resistance and excellent mechanical properties and, therefore, it is applicable for various types of steel. Electrodes are used with vertical downward gravity welders and assure high efficiency.

NITTETSU YM-24S is a gas metal arc welding wire to be used with Ar+5~25%CO2 shield gas. Spatters are extremely few and bead is beautiful especially in high speed welding (80~150cm/min)of thin plates, 2.0~3.2mm, in combination with a power source with high pulse frequency. NITTETSU YM-22Z is a gas metal arc welding wire to be used with Ar+10~30%CO2 shield gas. Blowholes and spatters are few and bead is sound in one pass fillet welding of alloified molten galvannealed steel 2 plates of 45~60g/m galvanization level. Also, high speed welding of more than 100cm/min is possible. The best effect is obtained in the combination with an inverter controlled pulsed power source. NITTETSU YM-25S is a gas metal arc welding wire to be used with Ar+20%CO2 shield gas and is suitable for all position welding of thin plates. Arc is stable, spatters are few and bead is beautiful in dip transfer welding.
