FERVEO STL 480 M HC FCW
flux-cored wire (FCW)Catalogue only
AWS class
E71 T-1M
EN ISO class
T 46 2 P M 1
Tensile strength (Rm)
530–600 MPa
Classification
| AWS class | E71 T-1M |
|---|---|
| EN ISO class | T 46 2 P M 1 |
Purpose
- Rutile flux-cored wire for production welding in all positions (AWS E71 T-1M, EN ISO T 46 2 P M 1), with Ar-CO2 mixed-gas shielding (M21).
Why it works
Same high-melting-capacity rutile principle as FERVEO STL 480 C FCW, here with M21 mixed-gas shielding instead of pure CO2 — smooth, X-ray-safe beads.
Fields of application
- Production welding of machinery, shipbuilding and steel structures, in all positions.

Equivalence refers to the classification (AWS / EN ISO), not to product identity. In applications with a qualified procedure (WPS), validate the substitution before use.

Advantages
- Ar-CO2 mixed-gas shielding (M21) — an alternative to FERVEO STL 480 C FCW (pure CO2) depending on shop preference.
- Smooth, X-ray-safe beads, high melting capacity at high current.
Limitations
- Same application type as FERVEO STL 480 C FCW — choosing between the two comes down to the shielding gas available in the shop.
