Metal cored welding wire with 1%Ni. Has high toughness and notch impact values. at -50°C. Provides very good welding properties in the short-arc and spray arc range. Almost spatter-free when welding in the spray-arc range with mixed gas. Due to it's easily controlable weld pool in the short-arc range, it is well-suited for root pass and gap bridging purposes. Good arc striking, even with cold wire tip, thus being suitable for robotic applications. Provides high deposition rate with high welding speeds. Good side wall fusion, finely rippled welds without undercut. Weld metal has a little silicate formation on surface which makes multi-pass welding easier.
