weld WIRE FOR a wide range of steels
FUSION™ UNIVERSAL
FUSION™ UNIVERSAL is a Modified Austenitic Stainless-Steel Flux cored tubular welding wire of gas shielded metal arc joining, build-up and hardfacing. FUSION™ UNIVERSAL is a weld wire that had good impact, cavitation and corrosion resistance. Depending on the amount of impact, the weld deposit work hardens to different degrees. The weld deposit shows exceptionally high ductility and elongation. This weld wire also has exceptional crack resistance.
FUSION™ UNIVERSAL is particularly designed for welding on a vast range of base metals and can be easily welded in all positions, making it ideal for maintenance welding applications. This weld wire is welded with AR-CO2 mixtures of CO2.
Common applications include:
- Fabrication, repair, and maintenance
- Restorations requiring high strength/toughness
- General hardfacing requiring impact resistance
