Dual Shield 8000-B2 is an all-position flux cored electrode which contains 1.25% Cr - 0.5% Mo. The analysis is very similar to Dual Shield 88 CM, except 8000-B2 is for out-of-position welding. The weld metal analysis is similar to an E8018-B2 low Hydrogen electrode. Dual Shield 8000-B2 wire is used for the welding of such steel as 0.5% Cr - 0.5% Mo, 1% Cr-0.5% Mo, and 1.25% Cr - 0.5% Mo. This wire is designed for single or multiple pass welding. Shielding gases of 100% CO2 and 75% Ar - Remainder CO2 may be used.
