Metal-cored wires for high-strength, low alloy steel

Hobart Brothers offers two gas-shielded metal-cored welding wires designed to improve weld quality and reduce downtime on high-strength, low alloy steel welding applications. Compared to equivalent ER80S-D2 solid welding wires, Tri-Mark Metalloy Vantage D2 and Tri-Mark Metalloy 80D2 wires provide higher deposition rates, better wet-in and faster travel speeds for greater productivity. Both also provide the necessary mechanical properties to match the challenging needs of heavy equipment manufacturing and structural parts applications.

The Metalloy Vantage D2 welding wire produces weld toe lines almost completely free of silicon deposits and with little to no spatter, reducing time spent for parts preparation and minimizing post-weld cleanup prior to painting or coating. The wire is especially well suited for single pass fillet welds, and when used with higher content Argon shielding gas blends (e.g. 90% Ar/10% CO2), Metalloy Vantage D2 provides excellent wet-in and virtually no spatter. The wire is available in .045- and .052-inch wire diameters.
