Rutile flux-cored wire of T 19 12 3 Nb R type for welding of CrNiMo(Ti/Nb) austenitic stainless steels. Designed for single and multi-pass welding mainly in the flat and horizontal position and horizontal/vertical position. Easy handling and high deposition rate result in high productivity with excellent welding performance and very low spatter formation. Increased travel speeds as well as self-releasing slag with little demand for cleaning and pickling provide considerable savings in time and money. The wire shows good wetting behavior and results in a finely rippled surface pattern. The wide arc ensures even penetration and side-wall fusion to prevent lack of fusion. Stabilized with niobium and suitable for service temperatures from –100°C to 400°C. The scaling temperature is approximately 850°C in air. For welding in vertical-up and overhead positions, FOXcore 318-T1 should be preferred.
