Lincoln Electric has added Lincolnweld® LAC-690, a low alloy flux-cored wire, to its line of products. Designed for submerged arc welding, the Lincolnweld LAC-690 is suitable for applications that require high strength and low H4 diffusible hydrogen weld deposits. In addition, the wire is capable of producing high impact toughness at low temperatures as required by the offshore industry for applications like rack to chord joints. When combined with Lincolnweld® 888 flux, Lincolnweld LAC-690 can be operated on both DC and AC polarities, resulting in increased productivity and providing users with the widest possible range of approved process capabilities. This new product offers high yield strengths, low temperature impact properties, superior Tandem, AC and DC Polarity operation and self-peeling slag.
