The FCXHS-120 High-Strength Flux-Cored Wire is an advanced consumable engineered for the welding of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels requiring tensile strengths up to 120,000 psi (830 MPa). Designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication, this wire provides a weld deposit that combines exceptional strength with superior impact toughness, ensuring structural integrity in critical applications such as crane manufacturing, earthmoving equipment repair, and offshore structural fabrication.
Metallurgically, the FCXHS-120 utilizes a sophisticated flux formulation that promotes a stable, spray-like transfer when used with Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures. This results in low spatter generation and a flat bead profile, reducing post-weld cleanup time. The wire is formulated to maintain low diffusible hydrogen levels (typically under 4ml/100g), which is crucial for preventing hydrogen-induced cracking (cold cracking) in high-strength steels, particularly in restrained joints or thicker sections.
This all-position wire excels in vertical-up and overhead welding scenarios due to its fast-freezing slag system. It supports high deposition rates while maintaining excellent puddle control, allowing operators to achieve high productivity without compromising weld quality. The FCXHS-120 is suitable for single and multi-pass welding and is compatible with standard constant voltage (CV) power sources equipped with knurled drive rolls for flux-cored wires.
