Dual Shield® 9000-B3 is an all-position flux-cored electrode which deposits a 2.25% Cr-1% Mo weld metal. The analysis is very similar to Dual Shield® 98 CM, except 9000-B3 is for out-of-position welding. The weld metal analysis is similar to an E9018-B3 low hydrogen electrode. Dual Shield® 9000-B3 is recommended for welding 2.25% Cr-1% Mo steels. This wire is designed for single or multiple pass welding. Shielding gas of 100% CO2 and 75% Ar, remainder CO2 may be used.
