v Applications Supercored 81-K2 is a titania type flux cored wire for welding of
low-temperature service steel used LPG, LNG tanks.
v Characteristics Supercored 81-K2 is titania type flux cored wire for all position welding
on Usage with CO2 shielding gas. This wire provide excellent notch toughness at
low temperature
v Note on Usage 1. For preheating guidelines, please refer to your local standards
and codes relative to your best practices.
2. Use 100% CO2 gas.
