TM-770 Welding Wire Delivers High Impact Values at Sub-Zero Temperatures

TROY, Ohio. November 27, 2006—Hobart Brothers offers its Tri-Mark® TM-770 gas-shielded flux-cored wire for use on high volume carbon steel applications that require high impact properties. Ideal for use on shipbuilding, offshore structural and general fabrication applications, TM-770 wire meets the stringent certifications of the American Bureau of Shipbuilding (ABS),Germanischer Lloyd and select military specifications.

The Best of Both Worlds                                    

TM-770 wire combines superior welding performance with excellent mechanical properties and low diffusible hydrogen levels. Rated at a tensile strength of 83,000 psi and 79 foot-pounds at sub-zero temperatures down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 degrees Celsius), TM-770 wire meets the needs of most general fabrication applications where high impact values are required.

The TM-770 wire’s smooth, stable and soft arc creates virtually spatter-free welds to minimize post-weld cleanup time and help increase productivity. Engineered for single- and multiple-pass welding in all positions, TM-770 produces a flat weld bead profile, even in the vertical-up position, and is designed for use with mixed shielding gases (75-85 percent Argon/15-25 percent CO2). Hobart Brothers offers TM-770 wire in .035-, .045-, .052- and 1/16-inch diameters.
