Welding Wire SG2 TYSWELD 0.8 mm, flux-cored, 15 kg spool

TYSWELD SG2 flux-cored welding wire in 0.8 mm diameter on a 15 kg spool is a filler metal intended for general-purpose welding of mild and low-alloy steels. The wire is designed for use in both gas-shielded and self-shielded flux-cored arc welding processes, delivering consistent feed and stable arc characteristics to produce reliable weld deposits in construction, fabrication and repair applications.

Advantages

The flux-cored chemistry provides good arc stability and dependable metal transfer, reducing spatter and promoting uniform bead appearance. The 0.8 mm diameter supports steady feed through mechanized and semi-automatic feeders, while the 15 kg spool offers extended run time between spool changes. Suitable for common structural steels, the wire produces sound deposits with acceptable mechanical properties for general fabrication and maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• General structural steel welding and fabrication
• Repair and maintenance of mild steel components
• Workshop and site welding with semi-automatic feeders
• Applications where a flux-cored wire is preferred for ease of use and tolerance to outdoor conditions

When it may not be suitable

This flux-cored SG2 wire is not intended for welding stainless steels, nickel alloys, or other non-ferrous metals. For critical applications requiring specific tensile, impact or corrosion-resistance values, reference to material specifications and testing is necessary; this general-purpose wire may not meet specialized metallurgical requirements. Use appropriate shielding gas and parameters for gas-shielded modes, or ensure correct polarity and settings for self-shielded use.

Key specifications

• Wire type: flux-cored welding wire
• Diameter: 0.8 mm
• Spool weight: 15 kg
• Suitable base metals: mild steel and low-alloy steel
• Welding processes: gas-shielded flux-cored arc welding and self-shielded flux-cored arc welding

How to use

Install the 15 kg spool on a compatible spool holder and thread the 0.8 mm wire through the feeder system suitable for flux-cored wire. Set welding polarity, current and travel speed according to the wire manufacturer’s recommended ranges and the thickness of the base metal. For gas-shielded operation, use the appropriate shielding gas and flow rate; for self-shielded operation, confirm the correct polarity and electrode extension. Perform test welds to fine-tune parameters for bead profile and penetration before beginning production or repair work.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your welding machine and wire feeder for 0.8 mm flux-cored wire
• Ensure the wire is suitable for the base metal and required mechanical properties of your project
• Decide between gas-shielded or self-shielded use based on working environment and accessibility
• Check storage and handling conditions to avoid moisture pickup

Usage recommendations

Store the spool in a dry environment and keep it sealed until use to maintain welding performance. Run trial beads to adjust current, voltage and travel speed for optimal penetration and bead appearance, and follow standard safety practices including ventilation and personal protective equipment when welding with flux-cored wire.
