MEGAFIL® 713 R is a seamless micro-alloy rutile flux-cored wire with rapidly solidifying slag for CO2 and Ar-CO2 mix. The wire is all-positional and runs with a very stable, soft arc producing excellent weld bead shape and finish with negligible spatter. The slag is easily detachable and fume emission is very low. It is suitable for welding mild and medium strength carbon manganese structural steels and produces excellent root beads on ceramic backing. Ease of use and high productivity, in combination with good mechanical properties and a weld metal hydrogen content less than 4 ml / 100 g, make MEGAFIL® 713 R an extremely versatile general purpose cored wire. Applications: shipbuilding, steel and vessel construction, mechanical engineering and pipe work.
