Stainshield Universal

Benefits

Developed to provide welds with low distortion, minimal spatter and high travel speeds
Produces a good fusion profile with a superior weld finish, which is shiny, smooth and has a flat surface appearance
The addition of helium ensures good penetration and helps produce welds that are defect-free

Commonly used in the MIG welding of components in the thickness range of 3mm to 10mm
Suitable for both manual and automatic applications
Used with austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex stainless steels to weld pipework and panelling such as blast walls
Suitable for dip, spray and pulse transfer
In automatic and robotic applications, high welding speeds achieved by Stainshield Universal are important for high production rates and cost-efficiencies
Higher mechanical properties can be achieved when using Stainshield Universal than argon/oxygen or argon/carbon dioxide mixtures
High-integrity welds such as those required by the nuclear industry

The following tabled data provides you with a guide to materials and welding processes with which Stainshield Universal can be used:

Process	Typical Use	Example Application	Benefits
MIG welding	Stainshield Universal is most widely used in the MIG welding of components in the thickness range of 3 mm to 12mm. The product is suitable for both manual and automatic applications.	Pipe Work Panelling such as blast walls	Low distortion, Little splatter High travel speeds

Process	Typical Use	Example Application	Benefits
MIG welding	As with stainless steel Stainshield Universal is best used to MIG weld nickel alloys of thickness of 3mm and 12mm. Only the Monel alloys are not recommended with this shielding gas.	Pipework	Good fusion Low defects
