RK-71T-5

(Copper coated solid wire suitable for root pass in pipe welding and carbon steel welding)

DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS: RK-71T5 is a versatile carbon steel FCAW wire intended for single and multiple pass welding of low and medium carbon steels using DCEP in all position at high deposition rates. The wire is characterized by a spray transfer, low spatter loss, flat to slightly convex bead contour, and a moderate volume of slag, which completely covers the weld bead. This class has basic slag and the ability to produce high deposition rates. The specially selected chemistry ensures high fluidity of the weld pool, thereby creating smooth bead appearance. The typical applications include construction work bridges & offshore structures, fabrication of tanks and vessels. Although wire is designed for use on pure CO2, Ar-CO2 may be used to improve usability, especially for out-of-position applications. Ideal for welding ASTM SA-516 Grade 70, IS: 2002-2A & 2B and high thicknesses of SA-285 Grade-C, IS 2062 & IS 226.
