Characteristics and Applications: ArcStar 81N1M is a gas-shielded flux cored wire for all-position welding. It is designed for welding 590

N/mm2 high tensile steel for low temperatures. It provides good weldability with smooth bead appearance, less spatter and stable arc as well as good

impact properties down to -40�

. It is also suitable for welding on construction machinery, shipbuilding, offshore, structures, bridges,

storage tanks and piping.

Notes on Usage: 1. When the heat input is excessive, the impact value tends to be reduced. Therefore, perform welding with

selecting proper heat input depending on the required impact value. 2. Preheating at 50~150

� is required depending on steels, plate thickness and restraint.

3. Use DC(+) polarity.

4. Use 75~80%Ar+25~20%CO2 as shielding gas.

Characteristics and Applications: ArcStar-101K3 offers excellent arc stability and low spatter with CO2 shielding gas. It also has a fast freezing slag for all-position welding. These features, along with relatively low diffusible hydrogen levels, excellent slag removal, good impact values and high strength levels, make ArcStar-101K3 a superior choice for welding higher-strength steels.

Notes on usage: (1) Use (DC+) polarity. (2) Use 100%CO2, 20~25 l/min shielding gas. (3) Welding heat input must be controlled in order to get required impact value, since notch tough

ness tends to decrease due to excessive heat input. (4) Keep dry during handling and storage.

Characteristics and Applications: TFW-309LMoP is a modified type of TFW-309L with the addition of molybdenum. It is suitable for joining

stainless steels to unalloyed steels. The addition of molybdenum enhances creep strength and improves corrosion resistance.

Notes on Usage: 1. Before welding, the base material should be cleaned from oil, rusty moisture and the welding place should

have the proper protection from the wind. 2. Use 99.8% or higher purity CO2 as shielding gas. Maintain the flow rate no under than 20L/min when wire

diameter is 1.2 or 1.6mm. 3. Trailer Shield is required to ensure the weld pool completely shielded until solidification is complete and no

porosity problem.
