EM12/EM12K Submerged Arc Welding Wire
The EM12/EM12K submerged arc welding wire is a copper coated filler wire. This welding consumable is characterized by superior weldability, stable arc, flawless bead appearance and easy slag removal. Our product is widely applied to welding of carbon steel (e.g. Q195, Q215 and Q235, etc.) and low-strength alloy steel such as 16MnCu and 16Mn, etc.
Our model of submerged arc welding wire is capable of catering to most welding conditions and requirement, including multi-layer and multi-pass welding in large current, as well as double-sided single-pass welding and high-speed welding, etc. This metal welding wire has been extensively applied to boilers, pressure vessels, bridges and ships, etc.
