W000281099 - Oerlikon Fluxofil 14 HD .045 Flux-Cored Wire 16kg Spool E71T-1

Premium Seamless Flux-Cored Wire for Structural Steel

The Oerlikon Fluxofil 14 HD is a high-performance, seamless copper-coated rutile flux-cored wire designed for the gas-shielded metal arc welding of unalloyed and structural steels. Engineered with a unique seamless manufacturing process, this wire offers distinct advantages over traditional folded wires, including complete protection against moisture absorption. This feature is critical for maintaining low hydrogen levels (H4 classification), preventing hydrogen-induced cracking, and ensuring a long shelf life without the need for specialized storage conditions.

This .045-inch diameter wire is supplied on a 16 kg spool and is formulated specifically for use with 100% CO2 shielding gas, making it a cost-effective solution for heavy fabrication. The copper coating not only protects the wire from corrosion but also enhances electrical conductivity, resulting in stable arc transfer and reduced wear on contact tips. Welders will appreciate the Fluxofil 14 HD for its outstanding all-position capabilities, particularly in the vertical-up position where it provides a flat, well-washed bead profile.

With an enhanced degree of fill, this wire supports higher current carrying capacities, leading to superior deposition rates and faster travel speeds. It is an excellent choice for industries requiring high productivity and rigorous quality standards, such as shipbuilding, steel construction, and heavy machinery manufacturing. The slag system is designed for easy removal, and the wire produces very low spatter, minimizing post-weld cleanup time.
