Pipe shield X series of solid wires for GMAW are specifically designed for fully automatic circumferential all position pipe welding. Pipe shield X combine the benefits of engineered wire surfaces and thoroughly controlled chemical compositions leading to good impact values even at low temperatures. Consistent wire geometry supports wire feeding and stable arc performance. Pipe shield X 60 covers pipe steel grades up to API X60 offering good impact toughness at low temperatures down to -40 ºC . Often used for root pass welding with higher tensile pipe grades.
