We have to weld some tubular weathering steel members that will be AESS so I need to make sure the color match issue is addressed.
My Lincoln guy said Ultracore 81Ni is the wire to use (FCAW) in shop.

Anyone ever work with this product?
Any thoughts?

8018C3 is what we use on Bridge with weathering steel.

AWS D1.1 has a table of filler metals that will provide the proper color match.

Al, thanks for the tip.

I wonder if there are any plans to add ASTM A847 to the list of pre-qualified base materials.  It looks the same as A588 but a different shape, tube instead of W- shapes and plates.
