For fully automated pipe welding
applications, Lincoln Electric has
introduced Pipeliner® 81M, a
gas-shielded, flux-cored (FCAW-G)
0.045 inch (1.2mm) diameter wire
designed for hot, fill and cap pass
welding on up to X70 grade pipe.
Pipeliner 81M is designed to provide
optimal performance during
automated pipe welding
applications where consistent arc
length is critical. Fast-freezing slag
provides a flat bead shape with
consistent puddle support all the
way around the pipe. Additionally,
the new wire provides robust impact
toughness and is capable
of producing weld deposits with
Charpy V-Notch impact toughness
exceeding 27J (20 ft•lbf) at –40ºC.
