MaxCore 312 flux cored wire is welded in all positions, with a shielding gas of CO2 or Argon + CO2. The wire benefits from fast freezing slag systems which assist the operator when welding out of position. It performs equally well when welding in the flat and horizontal positions.
MaxCore 312 flux-cored wire is used for welding dissimilar metals such as carbon to stainless steels or in welding 30%Cr-9% Ni type of alloys. It has a duplex ferritic – austenitic micro structure. The welds exhibit high strength. The higher carbon content of around 0.10% and the duplex micro structure gives the weld metal very high strength. It is used in refineries, petrochemicals and processing equipments. It is used in a big way in dissimilar joints between carbon and stainless steels and also between carbon and low alloy steels.
