Tri-Mark Metalloy EM13KS-MOD Submerged Arc Carbon Steel Wire - EC1 - 3/32" Wire - 60 lb Coil - S289329-K02

CHARACTERISTICS:

Metalloy EM13K-S is a composite metal cored electrode for submerged arc welding designed for similar applications as for the solid wire classification EM13K . The richer levels of manganese and silicon give excellent bead tie-in and even ripple pattern at high speeds. Metalloy EM13K-S will tolerate higher levels of rust and mill scale and reduce the likeliness of porosity caused by excess rust and mill scale. Typical applications include structural steel, shipbuilding, tank fabrication, wheel fabrication, heavy equipment and offshore fabrication.

ADVANTAGES OVER SOLID ELECTRODES:

Metalloy submerged arc electrodes provide higher deposition rates as compared to the solid wires of equal size, with the same amperage, electrical stickout and flux. Since Metalloy products are made using a steel sheath with alloying metal powders, customers will enjoy industry leading performance. Penetration patterns are broader than solid wires, making it easier to bridge fit-up gaps; and higher current levels can be used on the root passes and thin materials without burn through. Drive roll and straightening roll pressure should be set lower than solid wire as these electrodes are softer. Over tightening drive and straightening rolls may cause the electrode to deform and may cause electrode tracking problems. Metal cored electrodes will also reduce tip and liner wear.
