Coreshield 8 Helps AGRA

Certify Welders for a Critical Job
The most productive
Barry “Bear” and Brett Dunn of AGRA Foundations
discovered what a difference more user-friendly wire can

“ We replaced another brand wire we had been using
with Coreshield 8 and we are extremely pleased with

Atom Arc
Low Hydrogen Cover Electrodes: America’s first low hydrogen-covered
electrodes now includes over 35 different low-alloy types. Atom
Arc remains the standard by which all other covered electrodes are
measured.
®
Dual Shield
Gas-Shielded Flux Cored Wires: Introduced to the market in 1957, Dual
Shield products have become synonymous with quality and productivity.
The Dual Shield family has grown to include over 60 types of flux cored
wires developed to meet your welding requirements.
®
Coreshield
Self-Shielded Flux Cored Wires: Coreshield welding wires are designed
to meet the most stringent of structural welding codes. ESAB has
developed a family of self-shielded flux cored wires for welding
applications that range from thin steel sheet to heavy structural plate.
®
Spoolarc
MIG & Submerged Arc Wires: Spoolarc premium solid wires are the
brand of choice for many of the largest fabricators in North America. For
over 40 years, Spoolarc has been used by some of the most well known
companies in welding fabrication to make products as common as the
car you drive or the building you work in, or products as exotic as nuclear
submarines or even the space shuttle launch pad.
OK Flux
Submerged Arc Fluxes: Utilizing global manufacturing capacity, ESAB
is able to provide a range of submerged arc fluxes, bonded or fused,
active or neutral to meet your needs. OK Fluxes are designed to provide
smooth, stable performance, even at extremely high welding currents.
