Product Description

  • Designed to provide X-ray quality porosity-free welds and the highest tensile strength (as welded) of the plain carbon steel wires.
  • Contains high levels of manganese and silicon for stronger deoxidizing power where stringent cleaning procedures are not possible
  • The high silicon content increases the fluidity of the weld pool, creating a smoother bead appearance and resulting in minimal post-weld grinding.
  • This wire is excellent where poor fit-ups or rusty and oily plates may be used. Some typical applications are truck bodies, farm implements, steel castings or forgings, shaft build-ups and general shop fabrications.
  • Superior feedability
  • Certified Material Test Reports on all heats
