Selectarc FCW 347

This flux cored wire, designated FCW 347, is specifically designed for the gas-shielded (Ar + CO2 or 100% CO2) arc welding of 347 and 321 stainless steels. It features a rutile flux and easy slag removal, resulting in high-quality welds suitable for X-ray testing. It’s particularly well-suited for applications requiring high productivity, such as thermal plants, piping, and construction in coastal environments. The wire’s composition (C1, S34709) allows for welding of materials like 347 X8CrNiNb18-10 (1.4961) and 321 X8CrNiTi18-10 (1.4941). Welding parameters are recommended for FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Welding) processes, with current ranges from 10-20 l/min of shielding gas.

This flux cored wire is ideal for demanding applications requiring high-performance welding of 347 and 321 stainless steels. It’s suitable for use in flat positions within sectors such as thermal power plants, piping systems, and marine construction. The specified welding parameters – FCAW with a gas flow rate of 10-20 l/min – contribute to achieving robust and reliable welds. Refer to the MSDS for fume control and safety information.
