Fabshield XLR-8
Self Shielded Flux Cored MIG Wire
The Fabshield XLR-8 MIG welding wire is a popular low hydrogen T-8 self shielded, all positional flux cored wire, producing a stable arc and flat bead profile. It's especially suited for vertical-up welds at high currents and is capable of depositing X-ray quality welds, making it highly suitable for critical welding applications requiring a high degree of crack resistance.
