ESAB’s Dual Shield ® Prime low-
hydrogen fcaw wires feature
laser-welded seams to combat
moisture absorption
ESAB’s Dual Shield® Prime is a family of
seamless, low-hydrogen (H4) non-copper-
coated flux cored wires that combat moisture
absorption in humid environments, delivering
impact toughness down to -60 oC. Tests
performed in accordance with AWS standards
show an initial level of 2.17 ml of diffusible
hydrogen per 100 g of deposited weld metal;
after one week of exposure with a 90% RH
at 30 oC, Dual Shield Prime demonstrated
just 2.35 ml of diffusible hydrogen. “We laser
seal the seams, so there’s no chance of Dual
Shield Prime picking up moisture,” says Neil
Farrow, Global Product Manager, Flux Cored
Wires, ESAB. “Even after extended storage
and exposure, these H4 wires retain their low
hydrogen properties. Where procedures allow,
Dual Shield Prime’s low diffusible hydrogen may
eliminate or reduce preheat requirements.”

GoPrint3D and Essentium
partnership set to accelerate
adoption of industrial-scale additive
manufacturing in the UK and Ireland
Essentium, Inc., a leading
innovator of industrial additive
manufacturing (AM) solutions,
has announced that GoPrint3D
will resell the Essentium High
Speed Extrusion (HSETM) 3D
Printing Platform in the UK and
Irish markets. The combination
of GoPrint3D’s best-in-class
service, support and customer
knowledge, together with the
ground-breaking speed and
economics of Essentium’s AM
solutions, will help remove
the barriers that have, until
now, hindered the adoption
of industrial-scale AM. While
companies have begun to
include 3D printing in their
production processes, the
bulk of manufacturing in UK
and Ireland continues to
be done by traditional CNC
machines because of the
limitations in speed, scale and
economics associated with the
majority of 3D printing solutions.
Essentium and GoPrint3D will
tackle these issues head on by
