Summary
Documentation
Coreshield 8 is an all-position self-shielded fl ux cored wire designed to weld critical demand
Structural applications while maintaining excellent arc characteristics and high welder appeal.
With its fast-freezing slag that supports the molten metal during welding,
Coreshield 8 is ideal for outof-position welding in structural fabrication and
Other heavy duty applications.
Applications include bridge and building fabrication, plate and tubular welding,
Hull and stiffener welding in ship construction.
Coreshield 8 is tested and certified to meet the new AWS A5.20 ‘D’ designation requirements
Making this self shielded wire an excellent choice for demand critical welds
