ED033119 - Lincoln Pipeliner 80Ni1 .040" ER80S-G MIG Wire 33lb Spool

Lincoln Electric Pipeliner 80Ni1 MIG Wire

The Lincoln Electric Pipeliner® 80Ni1 is a premium micro-alloyed MIG wire specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of the pipeline industry. Classified as ER80S-G, this wire is formulated to deliver exceptional performance in semi-automatic and automatic welding applications. It is particularly adept at handling the complex requirements of high-strength pipe grades, offering root pass capability on grades up to X100 and comprehensive pass capabilities (root, hot, fill, and cap) on grades up to X80. Its specialized composition ensures deep penetration and reliable fusion, critical for the structural integrity of transmission pipelines.

One of the standout technical features of the Pipeliner 80Ni1 is its superior impact toughness. In environments where low-temperature resilience is critical, this wire excels, capable of exceeding 69 - 95 J (51 - 70 ft·lbf) at extremely low temperatures of -50°C (-58°F). This makes it an ideal choice for projects in harsh climates or where strict metallurgical specifications must be met to ensure safety and longevity. The wire's mechanical properties are tailored to resist cracking and maintain ductility under stress.

The wire is manufactured under Lincoln Electric's Q2 Lot® program. This ensures that every spool comes with a certificate showing the actual deposit chemistry, available online for immediate verification. This level of traceability is essential for code-work and critical infrastructure projects where material verification is mandatory. Engineers and quality control inspectors can rely on the consistency of the Pipeliner 80Ni1 to meet specific project requirements without deviation.

Furthermore, the Pipeliner 80Ni1 is designed for excellent wire placement, making it highly effective for narrow groove welding configurations often found in modern pipeline construction. The product is supplied in a 33 lb plastic spool utilizing the ProTech® packaging system. This advanced packaging protects the wire from moisture absorption and atmospheric contamination, ensuring consistent feeding, minimal spatter, and arc stability from the first inch to the last. Whether used in automated orbital systems or semi-automatic setups, this wire delivers the precision required for high-stakes welding.
