Fabshield X80

AWS A5.29: E81T8-Ni2J H8

Fabshield X80 is a Self Shielded (Gasless) Flux Cored Arc Welding (S-FCAW) wire which is engineered to give high productivity, all-position welding capability, low Hydrogen (H8) weld metal with very high impact toughness, simple to use welding solution for outdoor welding applications. This wire is formulated with -40°C Charpy impact toughness conformance (undiluted weld metal tested as per ASME BPVC Section II Part C AWS A5.29: AWS E81T8-Ni2J H8 ). Where supply or/and protection of shielding gases is a challenge (like welding at yards, heights, barges, pipelines, moderately windy conditions) this wire can be a big help to the users to start the welding with a simple setup. This wire can also be used for single-sided full penetration welding of plates/pipes/shapes even T, K, Y joints of tubular sections involved in offshore structures. This wire also finds use in fill & cap welding applications of onshore transmission pipelines involving steel grades up to API 5L Grade 80.
