Applications Approvals
Repairs on a variety of mild and low
alloy steel, helps to ensure weld integrity
and eliminate re-work.
Features Benefits
Excellent operator appeal High levels of Mn and Si deoxidizers tolerate
Suited for application of sheet metal medium to heavy mill scale surfaces
low spatter and Silicon island Served as both carbon dioxide and mixture gas
Excellent bead appearance Ideal for less skillful welders
