Selectarc FCW 2209

This flux-cored wire (FCW) is specifically designed for welding duplex steels in flat and down hand positions. It’s formulated for use with gas shielded (Ar + CO2) arc welding and exhibits excellent resistance to severe corrosive environments, including inter crystalline attack, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion. The wire’s easily removable slag contributes to high productivity in both flat and horizontal fillet weld applications. It is compatible with various duplex steel grades such as Uranus 45N, 2205, and 2304.

This FCW is primarily used for welding pumps, vessels, and piping systems subjected to chloride-containing solutions. It’s also suitable for applications involving impellers and other components demanding high strength alongside corrosion resistance. Welding parameters can be adjusted for optimal performance with FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Welding) utilizing an Ar/CO2 shielding gas at current levels ranging from 150 to 400A and a flow rate of 12-20 l/min.
