DETAILS
A general purpose wire that gives you the flexibility to use either straight CO2 or 75% Argon/25% CO2 gas. It delivers a stable arc, low spatter, and a smooth bead appearance for general fabrication applications.
Features
- Fast freezing slag for out-of-position welding
- Designed for welding with either 100% CO2 or 75% Argon/25% CO2 shielding gases
- Premium arc performance and bead appearance
- ProTech® foil bag packaging
- Available to meet Buy America. Choose a Buy America MTS product from the list of Available Types or contact a Lincoln Electric representative
