Dual Shield II 81-K2: Gas-Shielded Flux-Cored Wires (Fcaw) Low Alloy Wires

This document provides information on the Dual Shield II 81-K2 gas-shielded flux-cored wire for welding various steel alloys. The wire produces a smooth, stable arc and low spatter levels using 100% CO2 shielding gas. It was developed for higher tensile steels and is suitable for welding ASTM A302, A533 Class I, and A537 steels. Typical applications include ship fabrication, offshore oil rigs, and heavy equipment construction. Technical data on classifications, mechanical properties, chemical composition, deposition rates and recommended welding parameters are also provided.
