All-State Shield-Free Plus®
SP Self-Shielding
Flux-cored Welding Wire Incredibly
Small .030 (.8mm) and .035 (.9mm) All
Position — DC Straight Polarity (Electrode – )
General Characteristics
A breakthrough in welding technology,
.030" (.8mm) and .035" (.9mm) flux cored wires with no gas requirement.
For single pass all position welding
of mild steels. Excellent bead appearance, good wetting action, low spatter,
full yet easy-to-remove slag cover.
High travel speed allows higher deposition rate than gas shielded metal arc
electrodes. Smooth arc action and weld
edges. Typical
Applications Ideal
for thin gauged galvanized and mild steels. Use on lap and fillet welds for auto
body repair and sheet metal work.
Welds steels as thin as 20 gauge. Also performs well on light to moderately rusty
steels. Welds over oil, grease,
and mill scale. Qualities
Tensile strength up to 76,000 psi (53.45
kgs/mm2). .035"
(.9mm) welds steels as thin as 18 gauge. .030"
(.8mm) welds steels as thin as 20 gauge. AWS
A5.20, Class E71T-GS Procedures
Weld using direct current, electrode
negative (DC straight polarity). .035" at 120-130 amps, 16 volts, 176 ipm, 1/2"
(12.7mm) stickout.
.030" at 100 amps, 16 volts, 190 ipm, 1/2" (12.7mm) stickout. Use V knurled drive
rolls. Apply 5°–15°
leading gun angle in all positions. To develop weld bead, do not weave more than
1/4" (6.4mm).
