Austarc 16TC is a smooth running, basic low hydrogen electrode, developed for all positional (except vertical down) welding, using AC or DC power sources. The electrode gives exceptional arc stability and weldability for its class and produces high quality weld deposits with reliable notch toughness to -40°C. Austarc 16TC is manufactured using a unique twin coating extrusion process, which produces electrodes with two concentric flux coatings. Arc stabilising elements are concentrated in the inner coating of the electrode for significantly improved arc stability on AC welding machines. Other features of 16TC include, a smooth rippled weld profile with excellent edge wetting and a fluid, easily removed glassy slag. Austarc 16TC deposits X-ray quality weld metal with typical diffusible hydrogen levels of 5-8 mls of hydrogen per 100 gms of deposited weld metal, for “as manufactured” product, thus satisfying the “H10” low hydrogen category of AS/NZS 4855 and “H8” of AWS A5.1.

The Austarc is a smooth running basic type of low hydrogen iron powder electrode used for all positional welding except vertical down. The arc is very quiet with little spatter and the welds are exceptionally smooth with excellent wash in at the toes of the weld, thus giving minimum undercut. This electrode is used where the highest restrained work pieces are fabricated for mining equipment, pressure vessels, heavy girders, earth moving plant, repair and maintenance etc.

For the highest weld quality with low hydrogen levels, Austarc 77 electrodes should be baked at 400˚C for one hour to obtain <5mL/100g weld metal. After baking, the electrodes should be used from a hot box set at 100 -150 ˚C.

• Heavy Coated Manual Electrode for Cutting, Gouging or Piercing Steels

IDENTIFICATION

Coating - Black End Tip - Plain

Austarc C&G is a heavy coated electrode providing a highly mobile means of cutting, gouging and piercing most steels, using standard AC or DC arc welding equipment. Austarc C&G produces a very high arc force and can be used for general cutting and grooving in joint preparation, removing defective welds and reclaiming scrap metal, etc.

Oxy-acetylene and carbon arc-air cutting and gouging are two processes available to industry capable of giving high quality, smooth preparations. Austarc C&G will not replace these processes but rather provide a convenient, easy to use and mobile tool for the arc gouging and cutting of most metals. It is particularly useful to the maintenance welder operating in awkward locations to remove welds, open up joints and trim off bolt or rivet heads, etc. Similarly, the rural welder will find C&G handy in repairing or preparing joints when operating away from (or without) oxy-acetylene equipment.

Cutting - Direct the electrode into the work in the desired cutting

direction, working from the outside edge. Use an up and down sawing motion, the “up” arc length being increased to increase heating, the “down” arc length being decreased to contact point to force the molten metal out of the groove. Angle of electrode should be approx 70° to the horizontal.

(33)

Gouging - Point the electrode in the direction of gouging at

approx 10-20° to the plate surface. Strike the arc and move forward rapidly. If slag and molten metal start to clog the groove bring the electrode up to clear and, without breaking the arc, circle backwards and move forward again. This latter technique may prove more necessary than straight forward motion on lower amps or as the electrode becomes hotter. If amps are excessive, C&G will tend to “cut out” on AC and overheat, causing premature charring of the coating and reduced arc force.

Piercing - For holes, plunge the electrode into the plate at slightly

off right angles. With a small circular motion to the holder, force the electrode into the plate until full penetration is achieved. Once the hole has been made it may be trimmed with an up and down sawing motion.

Austmig ES6 is a copper coated, low carbon steel GMAW wire, formulated for optimum performance under Argon/CO₂ mixed gases and welding grade CO₂. Arc transfer characteristics are excellent with Argon based gas mixtures, particularly in spray and pulsed transfer modes. Austmig ES6 is an electrostatically copper coated wire providing excellent wire feeding and electrical conductivity and reducing contact tip wear. The higher manganese and silicon content of Austmig ES6 provides effective weld metal deoxidation for resistance to porosity.

Austmig ES6 is suitable for a wide range of welding applications on mild and medium strength steels providing consistently very low “H5” weld metal diffusible hydrogen levels when used with suitable shielding gases.

• AS/NZS 2717.1: ESD2-GC-W559AH • AS/NZS 2717.1: ESD2-GM-W559AH • AWS A5.18: ER80S-D2

Austmig ESD2 is a copper coated, low alloy steel wire used for welding medium to higher strength steels, particularly where service temperatures up to 500°C are encountered. ESD2 gives excellent resistance to porosity using CO₂ or Argon based gas mixtures (i.e. Ar/CO₂, Ar/O₂, Ar/CO₂/O₂). When porosity is a potential problem due to dirty or rusty surfaces or higher than normal sulphur contents, Austmig ESD2 will provide a consistently sound weld deposit.

Austmig ESD2 is also suitable for out-of-position welding due to its quick freezing weld pool. ESD2 produces high quality welds on plain carbon and C-Mn steels, low alloy steels and higher strength used in pressure vessels and boilers, such as petrochemical and power generation industries, operating at elevated temperatures. Austmig ESD2 may also be used for the fillet welding of higher tensile, quenched and tempered steels, such as Bisalloy 70 and 80 where the lower strength weld metal may be compensated by larger fillet sizes.

When used with suitable shielding gases, Austmig ESD2 will consistently produce very low “H5”, weld metal diffusible hydrogen levels, for excellent resistance to HAZ or hydrogen induced cracking.

• Welds Out of Position at High Currents • Low Hydrogen Weld Deposit • Excellent Slag Removal • No Shielding Gas Required

• High Impact Strength at Low Temperatures • Excellent Mechanical Properties Under a Wide Range of Heat Input

CLASSIFICATION

• AS/NZS ISO 17632-B - T494T8-1NP-H10 • AWS A5.20: E71T-8JD H8

Low hydrogen T-8 self-shielded, all positional flux cored wire, producing a stable arc and flat bead profile, especially suited for vertical-up welds at high currents with excellent mechanical properties and a tensile strength of 490 MPa. Capable of depositing X-ray quality welds, making it highly suitable for critical welding applications requiring a high degree of crack resistance due to its low diffusible hydrogen levels, less than 6.7ml per 100g of weld metal deposited. XLR-8 has been designed for single and multi-pass welding applications with improved productivity in out-of-position welding, offering high impact strength of (42J) at sub zero temperatures to -40˚C. Specifically designed for increased productivity and high deposition rates on challenging structural steel erection, heavy equipment repair, mining equipment, bucket repairs, storage tanks, pipe spooling, ship construction and site work applications.

Abrasocord 43 is a heavy coated, hard surfacing electrode depositing extremely hard, abrasion resistant Chromium/ Niobium carbides in an austenitic matrix. It is ideal for hard surfacing applications where resistance to extreme abrasion (in particular sliding abrasion) and moderate to heavy impact are required. Due to the nodular shape of the complex carbides, Abrasocord 43 deposits are capable of withstanding heavier impact levels than standard chromium carbide grades. Typical applications include bucket teeth/lips, grizzlies, press screws, crusher hammers and ripper teeth to name but a few. Abrasocord 43 deposits are non-machineable, grindable, prone to fine relief checking and should be restricted to 3 layers high. While two layers of Abrasocord 43 may be required for maximum wear resistance, this complex carbide alloy has lower dilution sensitivity than straight chromium carbide deposits.
