FAQ
FAQ
Q: What is the main advantage of ER80S-Ni3 compared to Ni1 and Ni2?
A: ER80S-Ni3 offers the highest toughness of the Ni series, designed for extremely low temperatures (-80°C / -112°F), where Ni1 and Ni2 may not provide adequate impact strength.
Q: Which shielding gas should I use with BLUME® ER80S-Ni3?
A: Optimal results are achieved with Ar/CO₂ or Ar/O₂ blends, depending on penetration and bead profile requirements.
Q: Is this wire suitable for LNG and cryogenic applications?
A: Yes – BLUME® ER80S-Ni3 is specifically engineered for cryogenic storage tanks, LNG facilities, and Arctic pipelines.
Q: How does BLUME® ensure better results than standard ER80S-Ni3 wires?
A: Through strict nickel control, advanced manufacturing, and rigorous testing, BLUME® wires deliver greater consistency, smoother welding, and superior toughness compared to generic brands.
