Description

Cigweld Verticor 3XP MIG Wire 15kg

The Cigweld Verticor 3XP MIG Wire 15kg is a high-performance E71T-1 / E71T-12 microalloyed rutile type flux cored wire designed for versatile, all-positional welding of mild and medium strength steels. Engineered for smooth arc transfer, excellent slag control and strong mechanical properties, Verticor 3XP is ideal for structural fabrication and heavy industrial applications.

Classified to:

• AWS/ASME-SFA A5.20: E71T-1 H8 / E71T-12M H8
• ISO AS/NZS 17632 B T 49 3 T12 A C A U H10

Verticor 3XP offers low hydrogen performance with diffusible hydrogen levels of 5–6 ml/100g of deposited weld metal, supporting high-integrity weldments.

True All-Positional Capability

Verticor 3XP is formulated for:

• Downhand (flat)
• Horizontal
• Horizontal-vertical (HV fillet)
• Vertical-up
• Overhead

It is suitable for all positions except vertical-down, delivering flat mitre fillet welds, smooth bead appearance and excellent slag lift.

Mechanical Performance

Typical all-weld metal mechanical properties include:

Using Argon + 18–25% CO₂:

• Yield Strength: 480 MPa
• Tensile Strength: 560 MPa
• Elongation: 28%
• CVN Impact: 115 J avg @ -20°C

Using CO₂:

• Yield Strength: 460 MPa
• Tensile Strength: 530 MPa
• Elongation: 30%
• CVN Impact: 95 J avg @ -20°C

These impact values make Verticor 3XP suitable for structural applications requiring enhanced toughness.

Recommended Shielding Gas

• Welding grade CO₂
• Argon + 18–25% CO₂

For optimum arc performance and weld deposit impact toughness, mixed gas is recommended.

Available Sizes (15kg Spools)

• 1.2mm – Part No. 720919
• 1.6mm – Part No. 720921

Ideal Applications

• Structural steel fabrication
• General heavy fabrication
• Workshop and site welding
• Mild and medium tensile steels

For fabricators requiring a versatile microalloyed rutile flux cored wire with low hydrogen classification and strong impact performance, the Cigweld Verticor 3XP 15kg spool delivers consistent, professional results.
