The Dual Shield process offers many advantages, including excellent weld metal quality, high deposition rates, and ease of operation. Labor and overhead are the most expensive factors in a welding operation, usually comprising 80 to 85 percent of the total cost. Welding with high deposition Dual Shield electrodes provides an immediate means of cost reduction without an exorbitant investment in equipment. Savings with Dual Shield range as high as 60% of the total cost of depositing one lb. (0.45 kg) of weld metal when compared to coated electrodes.
