The guide contains a wealth of technical information relating to the range of solid wires, including classification, chemical composition, mechanical properties, approvals and welding parameters.
There is also a description for each and an indication of typical applications.
In addition, there is plenty of useful background information, guidance on the use of shielding gases, and advice on how best to store and handle the wires.
Another section of the guide presents the reader with clear, concise information relating to health and safety issues.
Three categories of solid wire are covered by the guide: ferritic steels; stainless and heat-resisting steels; and aluminium and aluminium alloys.
A total of 19 different grades are detailed, all of which are offered in a range of at least three different wire diameters.
Many of the wires described in the guide are available in ESAB's unique 200/250kg or 475kg Marathon Pac format, which minimises the frequency with which changeovers are required.
Marathon Pacs also offer several weld-related advantages due to the straight pay-off, and they require remarkably little floor space compared with other bulk packaging systems.
Further information about Marathon Pacs is included within the guide. Request a free brochure from ESAB ...
