YP 690MPa grade steels are used as the main structural steel for offshore structure such as Jack-up Rig and WTIV(Wind Turbine Installation Vessel). Most of welding consumables applied to YP 690MPa grade steels are basic type flux cored wires that shows the poor weldability and not suitable for all position welding. For this reason, welding consumables with rutile type flux system is required. Rutile type flux cored wires show excellent weldability and apply to all position welding. This paper presents the mechanical properties of weld metal with rutile type flux cored wire developed and finally assessed the possibility for application.
