This detailed product description is for the Union X96 type, 0.8 mm diameter, high-strength shielding gas arc welding (MAG) wire, supplied in a K300 basket spool in a 15 kg package. This wire has been specifically developed for welding tasks meeting the highest quality requirements, especially considering automotive applications, as it has Honda's approval.
A Union X96 welding wire is a premium category consumable electrode designed to provide excellent mechanical properties in the welded joints. Its main application area is the MAG welding of steel parts, especially where high strength requirements arise.
This wire is an ideal choice for steels whose nominal tensile strength range is between 590 MPa and 980 MPa. Additionally, it is excellently applicable for welding steel components falling into the lower strength range of, 270 MPa and 440 MPa which ensures wide applicability in repair and manufacturing processes.
The product's outstanding feature is the high, 980 N/mm² nominal tensile strength (Rm), which guarantees the durability and reliability of the welded structures. The excellent yield strength (Rp 0.2: 930 N/mm²) ensures that the joint can withstand loading without undergoing permanent deformation.
The wire's 0.8 mmdiameter is optimal for precise and fast welding processes, especially for thinner sheets or precise fits.
This specific item is available in the K300 basket spool format, containing a net amount of 15 kg of wire. K300 basket spools are designed to ensure even and uninterrupted feeding of the wire into the welding equipment, minimizing downtime and the risk of wire breakage.
Note: The Union X96 welding wire is also available in an alternative package size: on a D200 spool (5 kg) (Part Number: 311087).

By using Union X96 wire, welding professionals can enjoy the following benefits:
High Strength Joints: The 980 MPa tensile strength ensures that welded structures meet the strictest mechanical load requirements, which is critical for safety-related parts.
Versatile Application: Capable of ensuring excellent quality welding for both high-strength and medium-strength steels, thereby reducing the number of different wire types needed for various projects.
OEM Compliance: The Honda approval confirms that the wire quality meets the stringent requirements of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), which is essential during automotive repairs.
Excellent Weldability Characteristics: Although detailed welding parameters (e.g., amperage, gas flow) are not listed here, high-quality wire generally results in a stable arc, minimal spatter, and easy slag removal (provided the shielding gas is adequate).
K300 Basket Spool Advantages: The large-size basket spool is ideal for high-volume welding work because it requires less frequent replacement, thus increasing productivity.
For the efficient and safe use of K300 basket spools, Wieländer+Schill offers compatible adapter accessories:
Adapter for K300 wire spool (1-piece):
Part number: 307002
Features: Single-piece adapter with eight arms and two locking levers for securing the wire spools.
Adapter for K300 wire spool (2-piece):
Part number: 307003
Features: Two-piece adapter with quick-release mechanism, specifically for K300 wire spools.
These adapters ensure that the 15 kg wire spools can be stably mounted on the welding machine, guaranteeing continuous and trouble-free wire feeding until the entire weight is used up.
This Union X96 welding wire is the ideal choice for any professional seeking a reliable, high-strength, approved consumable for complex steel welding tasks.
