BÖHLER Pipeshield wires are designed to offer both good mechanical properties and high impact toughness at low temperatures.
The outstanding benefits are especially accessible in the vertical down position for (hot pass) filler and cap layers. Due to the basic
filling the interpass temperature can be arranged similar to that of basic electrodes, we recommend 80 – 200 °C.
BÖHLER self shielded flux cored wires provides an easy handling for the welder due to a very tolerant stick out length and less
tendency to porosity, also when welding with a longer arc length as a result of higher voltage.
Packaging: 6 kg Coils: 1 unit contains 5 vacuum packed coils á 6 kg. Hermetically sealed metal can. 15 kg Coils: Vacuum sealed
