Power source is true multi-process welding unit
Multi-process arc welding power source supports MMA, TIG, MIG and flux-cored GMAW as well as advanced processes like pulsed MIG, 'Pulse-on-Pulse' and 'Power Mode'.
(Adopted in 2006, AWS D1.8 is set of guidelines governing welds in structures designed to resist seismic loading.) Lincoln's UltraCore line of gas-shielded flux-cored electrodes - which has long been the preference of welders and fabricators looking for performance and dependability - includes two wires that meet AWS D1.8 standards.
UltraCore 71C and UltraCore 71A85 in .045", .052" and 1/16" diameters are classified with AWS A5.20:2005 "-D" supplemental designator to meet the newly adopted D1.8 guidelines.
Stringent high and low heat input testing and a minimum Charpy Impact Value of 40 ft-lbf@+70deg are part of the tough requirements to be -D certified.
The robustness of these electrodes makes UltraCore electrodes best suited for a wide variety of structural fabrication needs whether a job calls for AWS D1.8 or FEMA 353.
Additionally, Protech foil bag packaging, which is used for all UltraCore wires, is the recognized standard for AWS D1.8 or FEMA 353.
