Flux core wire Sorex SFC-04 (Self Shielded FCW)


Gas-Shielded Flux Cored Wire for Mild Steel (SFC-04)

Executing high-speed, structural carbon steel welding across building frameworks, heavy machinery, ship hulls, and storage tanks requires filler metal that combines fast deposition with reliable mechanical integrity. The Gas-Shielded Flux Cored Wire for Mild Steel (SFC-04) series from Thermatech delivers exceptional operational versatility powered by Wire Sorex manufacturing standards.

Classified under AWS A5.20 E71T-1C / E71T-1M, Gas-Shielded Flux Cored Wire for Mild Steel (SFC-04) utilizes a fast-freezing titania slag system that supports stable, all-position welding without puddle sagging or edge undercut. Designed for use with $100\% \text{ } CO_2$ or Argon/$CO_2$ mixed shielding gases, this Wire Sorex consumable produces low-hydrogen weld deposits with minimal spatter loss and self-peeling slag. The resulting smooth, aesthetically clean weld beads consistently satisfy stringent non-destructive radiographic (NDT) inspection criteria.

Technical Advantages of Gas-Shielded Flux Cored Wire for Mild Steel (SFC-04)

Built to maximize throughput and welder comfort in demanding fabrication environments, this product line offers key advantages:

  • Superior All-Position Arc Stability: Fast-freezing slag enables effortless vertical-up, vertical-down, and overhead welding with excellent puddle control.
  • High Travel Speeds & Metal Deposition: Wire Sorex flux-cored technology delivers significantly higher deposition rates than conventional solid wires, reducing labor costs per meter of weld.
  • Radiographic Quality Deposit: Moisture-resistant formulation ensures low diffusible hydrogen levels, preventing porosity, gas pockets, and cold cracking in structural plates.
  • Self-Detaching Slag Layer: Slag peels away effortlessly, minimizing post-weld grinding and joint preparation time between multi-pass runs.

DESCRIPTION :
SFC-04 is a self-shielded flux cored wire designed for on site fabrications which welder could use it outdoor
if at the applications with longer stick-out than normal fcaw if wind is not high. Excellent performance in desulfuration
reduces porosity effectively.

APPLICATIONS :
It is designed flat, horizontal and downhill positions welding and suitable for steel structural constructions.

NOTE ON USAGE :
1. Use DC (+) polarity.
2. Keep the welding parts clean, out of moisture before welding.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Gas-Shielded Flux Cored Wire for Mild Steel (SFC-04)

Q: What makes Gas-Shielded Flux Cored Wire for Mild Steel (SFC-04) ideal for general structural steel fabrication?

A: Gas-Shielded Flux Cored Wire for Mild Steel (SFC-04) features an all-position titania slag system that allows welders to switch between flat, vertical, and overhead welds smoothly. It offers higher deposition rates and deeper penetration than standard solid MIG wire while maintaining low spatter levels.


Q: Which shielding gas provides the best performance with this Wire Sorex product?

A: This Wire Sorex consumable performs excellently with 100% CO₂ gas for deep penetration and cost savings. However, using an 80% Argon / 20% CO₂ mixture yields an even smoother spray transfer, lower spatter, and improved bead appearance.
