245011721 - ESAB Dual Shield II 80 Ni1 H4 .045 Flux-Cored Wire 15kg

Superior Performance for Critical Welds

When your project demands welds that can withstand the cold and carry the load, ESAB Dual Shield II 80 Ni1 H4 is the wire you reach for. This .045-inch flux-cored wire is a favorite among professional welders for its exceptional runability and the confidence it provides in critical applications. Whether you are welding on an offshore platform, repairing heavy earth-moving equipment, or fabricating structural steel for cold climates, the 1% Nickel chemistry delivers the impact toughness you need to prevent failure in harsh conditions.

All-Position Versatility

Forget about changing wires when you move from flat to vertical welds. The Dual Shield II 80 Ni1 H4 is a true all-position wire. It features a fast-freezing slag that holds the puddle in place for vertical-up and overhead welding without fighting gravity. Yet, it washes out beautifully in flat positions to create flat, professional-looking beads. The arc is smooth and stable, characterized by a spray-type transfer that minimizes spatter, keeping your workpiece clean and reducing grinding time.

Safety and Reliability

Cracking is a welder's nightmare, especially on thick steel. That’s why this wire carries an H4 rating—the gold standard for low hydrogen. This ultra-low hydrogen formulation significantly lowers the risk of cold cracking, giving you peace of mind on restrained joints and high-stress fabrications. It runs smoothly on both straight CO2 and Argon/CO2 mixes, so you can adapt to whatever gas is on the rig. The slag releases easily, often curling up by itself, which speeds up multi-pass welding and keeps your productivity high.

Key Benefits for the Operator

• Smooth Arc: Experience a stable, consistent arc that is easy to control.
• Low Spatter: Spend more time welding and less time chipping spatter.
• Easy Slag Removal: Slag often peels off, revealing a shiny, high-quality bead underneath.
• Deep Penetration: Ensures solid fusion into the root and sidewalls.
