Product Description

  • Excellent choice for welding on metals with a medium to high presence of surface contaminants such as rust or mill scale.
  • Low carbon, high manganese, and very high silicon wire that exhibits very good puddle fluidity, bead profile, and spatter control.
  • 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.
  • Excellent where poor fit-ups or rusty and oily plates may be used. Typical applications include truck bodies, farm implements, steel castings or forgings, shaft build-ups, and general shop fabrications.
  • Superior feedability
  • ABS Approved
