All-State Shield-Free Plus®
MP Self-Shielding
Flux Cored Welding Wire All
Position — DC Straight Polarity (Electrode – )
General Characteristics
No shielding gas required. For single
and multiple pass all position welding of mild steels as thin as 1/16"
thickness. Use on lap, fillet, and
butt welds. Smooth arc action, 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. Typical
Applications For
general purpose mild steel fabrication requiring multiple layers of weld metal.
Typical applications include: fabrication
and repair of machinery parts, truck bodies, saddles, tanks, hoppers, racks, scaffolding,
light angle structurals,
joists, small roundabouts; short assembly welds on brackets, clips, etc. Railroad
car repairs. For single or
multipass applications on thin gauge mild or galvanized steel.
Qualities Tensile
strength up to 91,000 psi. Yield
strength up to 65,000 psi. Elongation
22–24%. AWS
