TROY, Ohio. October 28, 2009-For welding on nickel-molybdenum steel applications that require high impact toughness at sub-zero temperatures, Hobart Brothers offers its Tri-Mark^® Metalloy^® 80N1 metal-cored welding wire. This gas-shielded wire has been specifically designed for both single- and multi-pass welding on 1/2 Ni-1/4 Mo, 1 Ni-1/4 MO and 1-1/2 Ni-1/2 Mo steels, such as those used for castings or heavy equipment. The Metalloy 80N1 wire can also be used for welding on weathering steel applications where color match is not critical. It meets the E80C-Ni1classification per AWS A5.28 specifications.

Useable with either 75% Argon/25% CO2 or 98% Argon/2 % O2 shielding gas mixtures, Metalloy 80N1 wire provides tensile strengths ranging from 85,900 to 90,000 psi, respectively, and maintains its toughness at temperatures as low as -50 Fahrenheit (-46 Celsius). The wire also offers similar benefits as Hobart Brothers other premier Tri-Mark metal-cored wires. These include: high deposition rates, low spatter levels, excellent penetration and wetting action, and faster travel speeds (as compared to solid welding wires). Combined, these features help improve productivity and reduce costly and time-consuming rework.

Metalloy 80N1 can be used in the flat, horizontal and vertical down welding position using the CV (constant voltage) spray mode or in all positions using a power source with pulsing or short arc capabilities. It is available in .045-, .052- and 1/16-inch diameters in a variety of spool and drum packages and sizes.
