Up Topic Welding Industry / General Welding Discussion / Please suggest wire for A-106b

Can anyone recommend a good self-shielded (or possibly a gas shielded ) wire. We are doing butt welds on piping. Material grade is A-106b.We would like to speed things up a little by using wire instead of S.M.AW.

A-106 B = P-1 Gr. 1

Assuming you are using Carbon steel filler. Don't know your requirments but

Dual shield E71T-1 (flux cored useing straight CO2 or 75%/25%)

E70T-7 needs no gas shield and has a high deposit rate.

But Changing processes requires requalifying the procedure, you might want to make more inquiring befor you switch.
