Union X 85 is a low-alloyed, high-strength solid wire. It suits welding quenched and tempered high-strength steels in machine building, crane structures and commercial vehicles.
Among the parent materials it covers S690Q, S690QL, S770QL, S700MC, S760MC, P690Q and P690QL1. The wire runs by hand with a semiautomatic torch and on mechanised stations, on working machines, booms, cranes and structures that need a high yield strength.

Do not exceed the permitted interpass temperature, an overheated heat affected zone loses its toughness. Set the gas flow so the pool is covered over the whole length of the bead, and shield the station when you work in wind. Check the contact tip, a worn bore upsets the wire feed and causes burnback. Match the diameter to the thickness and the position, thinner wires are easier to control in constrained positions.
