DETAILS
The choice for novice or experienced welders looking for an easy to operate self-shielded, flux-cored wire. The excellent arc control and accommodating weld puddle enable operators to make high quality weld deposits regardless of skill level. This product is manufactured with steel made and melted in the U.S.A. It complies to Buy America (BA), Buy American (BAA), Build America, Buy America (BABA), and American Iron & Steel (AIS) standards.
Features
- Enhanced Feedability – New design increases wire stiffness to aid feedability and promotes smooth arc transfer
- Wire Snap-Off – Easy to break off wire end without tools for better re-strike
- Meets AWS D1.8 requirements for Demand Critical Welds – Three lot tests available at www.lincolnelectric.com/D1.8 to meet AWS D1.8 lot waiver requirements
- Effortless Operability – Welders of all skill levels benefit from the easy to control arc and forgiving weld puddle even out of position
- This product is manufactured with steel made and melted in the U.S.A. It complies to Buy America (BA), Buy American (BAA), Build America, Buy America (BABA), and American Iron & Steel (AIS) standards.
