FCW 316 LT and FCW 316 LTA Gas Shielded Flux Cored Welding Wires

Filler Metal FCW 316 LT and FCW 316 LTA are used for welding type 316 and 316L stainless. These flux cored wires contain molybdenum, which resists pitting corrosion induced by sulphuric and sulphurous acids, chlorides and cellulose solutions.
FCW 316 LT was developed for flat or horizontal welding position (AWS E316T0-1/T0-4) while
FCW 316 LTA was developed for out-of-position welding (AWS E316T1-1/T1-4).
These cored wires were formulated for use with 75% Argon/25% CO2 shielding gas however, straight CO2 may also be used.
The 75/25 mixture will produce a smooth arc with virtually no spatter and slightly higher yield and tensile strengths than CO2.
The slag is self-peeling and minimizes cleanup.
The mechanical properties and deposit analysis will meet AWS 5.22 specifications with either gas.
