Specifications:
- AWS: A5.29 : E 81T1-K2
DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION
- ZIKA 81T1-K2 is a titania type flux-cored wire, it is designed for welding 560 N/mm2 high tensile steel for low temperatures.
- The weld metal contains about 1.5%Ni and makes good notch toughness at temperatures down to -60℃ under as-welded condition.
- It provides excellent usability with stable arc and efficiency in all-position welding.
- It is suitable for butt or fillet welding of offshore structures for low-temperature districts, LNG and LPG carriers, and storage tanks, etc.
- Keep dry during storage and delivery.
-
When the heat input is excessive, the impact value tends to be reduced. Therefore, perform welding with
selecting proper heat input depending on the required impact value.
-
Use DC(+) polarity.
-
Use 99.8% or higher purity of CO2 gas.
