<strong>FILARC</strong> <strong>flux</strong>- andmetal- coredwelding wiresGuide to using your<strong>FILARC</strong> catalogue,continuedContents page 4Previous pageNext pagefor detailed information. Where an approvalfor a cored wire has been applied for, buthas not been received at the time this cataloguewas published, this is indicated bythe term "pending". Additional approvals fora given cored wire may arise. Contact<strong>FILARC</strong> or ESAB for the latest information.Further down the identification bar, keyinformation is given on weldability. Thewelding positions for which the cored wireis suited are indicated by icons representingfollowing ASME and EN designations:1G/1FPA4GPEElectrogaswelding2GPC4FPD2FPB5G↑PFOther icons used are:Hardnessfrom 3 rdlayeronwards3G↑/3F↑PF5G↓/6G↓PGCeramicbackingroundgroove3G↓/3F↓PG–(cladding)CeramicbackingrectangulargrooveCurrent & polarity are given further down.The preferred polarity is given in boldtypeface when there is an option for bothDC+ or DC –.The description reviews the cored wire'scharacteristics, also its properties andintended applications.Chemical composition gives the upperand lower limit in weight percentage of themain alloying elements in the weld metal.Certificates specifying actual values of allrelevant chemical elements per lot number,can be made available on request.Shielding gas exactly specifies for whichgas compositions the stated mechanicalproperties can be guaranteed, eg. Ar/15-25%CO 2 . This has become necessarybecause EN 439 may specify a widerrange of gas compositions for a specificcategory than the previous standard forwhich the wires were originally tested.M21 according to Euronorm, for example,covers Ar/CO 2 mixtures with 5-25% CO 2 ,whereas the old DIN specified 15-25% CO 2 .Weld metal hydrogen, given for non- andlow-alloyed types, states typical valuesvalid for diameter size 1.2mm. Samples forhydrogen determination are welded at250A and 15mm stick-out, unless statedotherwise (e.g. high speed types). In addition,pages 26 to 29 give detailed informationon the influence of welding parameterson the hydrogen level (acc. EN758) ofseveral individual cored wires.Deposition data give deposition rates inkg/h at 100% duty cycle, for a characteristicshielding gas within the specified compositionrange.All weld metal mechanical properties oftypes for non- and low-alloyed steels areobtained in tests according to the UnifiedRules of the ship classification societies,AWS and EN. Mechanical properties oftypes for high strength and creep resistantsteels are determined according to toAWS 5.29 specifications, and of stainlesssteel types to AWS 5.22.3
