Dual Shield II 712X is an all-position flux cored wire intended for applications requiring outstanding weld metal toughness. This X Series wire, in combination with 75/25 Argon and CO2 shielding gas, can produce Charpy V-notch impact results of more than 50 ft.-lbs. (68 J) at -60oF (-51oC) and Crack Tip Opening Displacement (CTOD) results of more than 20 mils (0.5 mm) at -40oF (-40oC). Dual Shield II 712X also provides the smooth arc and low spatter levels characteristic of Dual Shield flux cored wires.
Applications include off-shore oil components, shipbuilding and heavy equipment where exceptional Charpy impact/low temperature toughness is required.
