For 570MPa High Tensile Strength Steel

Welding of 570MPa high tensile strength steel for bridges, machinery and structures.

CHARACTERISTICS

NITTETSU SF-60 is a rutile type seamless flux cored arc welding wire to be used with CO2 shield gas and was designed with emphasis on crack resistance in the welding of thick plates. The diffusible hydrogen content is as low as that of solid wires and crack resistance is excellent even in the low heat input welding of thick plates.

GUIDELlNES FOR USAGE

1. Water, rust, paint and oil in groove should be removed completely since they may cause low temperature cracks and blowholes. 2. Select optimum welding parameters, heat input for example, in accordance with plate thickness, welding position, etc. Excessive heat input may cause lack of joint strength. 3. Preheating at 50~150C is required depending on plate thickness, restraint, heat input, etc. 4.

APPLICATIONS

JIS Z 3312 G59JA1UC3M1T

AWS A5.28 ER 80S-G

Welding of 590MPa high tensile strength steel for steel frames, bridges, pressure vessels and penstocks.

CHARACTERISTICS
NITTETSU YM-60C is a gas metal arc welding wire to be used with CO2 shield gas. Arc is stable, spatters are few and weldability is excellent even in high welding current range. High efficiency is obtained in automatic and semiautomatic welding due to high deposition rate and deep penetration. It is also applicable to OSCON process, our manpower saving automatic welding process.

GUIDELlNES FOR USAGE
