ŽICA BOHLER EMK 8 FI 1.2

The copper solid wire you're referring to is used for Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) of structural components that have increased strength requirements. This wire is particularly well-suited for welding thick-walled components. BÖHLER EMK 8 is specifically designed for semi-automatic and robotic welding, offering excellent feeding characteristics. Additionally, there's a non-copper coated version of the solid wire called BÖHLER EMK 8 TOP, which is designed to minimize spatter formation and provide excellent feeding properties, especially at extremely high wire feed rates. These wire types are highly suitable for robotic welding applications.

**Approvals and Certificates:**
This wire has received approvals and certificates from various organizations, including TÜV-D (3038.), DB (42.014.05), ÖBB, ABS (3SA, 3YSA), DNV (III YMS), GL (3YS), LR (3S, 3YS H15), SEPROZ, CE, and NAKS.

**Base Materials:**
The wire is compatible with steels that have a yield strength of up to 460 N/mm2 (67 ksi). This includes a range of materials such as S235J2G3 - S355J2G3, E360, P235T1-P355T1, P235G1TH, P255G1TH, P235GH, P265GH, P295GH, P310GH, P255NH, S235JRS1 - S235J4S, S355G1S - S355G3S, S255N - S460N, P255NH-P460NH, GE200-GE260. It's also compatible with various ASTM standards.
