Characteristics
CSF-81TM is an all position flux cored wire designed for
on usages
80%Ar + 20%CO2 shielding. You can get smooth arc, and
low spatter, good weldability. The weld metal impact
values at –30℃ is excellent and has good bead
appearance, slag covering is uniform and easy to remove.

1) Proper preheating(50~150℃, 122~302F) and Interpass

Notes on usages temperature must be used in order to prevent cold
crack in weld metal, especially a medium or heavy
plates.
2) 20 ~25ℓ/min flow rate of 80%Ar-20%CO2 shield gas is
proper.
3) A proper CTWD(Contact tip working distant) is
15~25mm.
4) If wind velocity is over 2m/sec. wind screen is needed
for anti-blowhole.
5) After packing is opened, use up as soon as possible.
