Select 100C-K3

Low Alloy / Metal Cored / Gas Shielded

Resources

Features

  • Arc transfer is a stable, fine droplet spray with virtually no spatter generation especially as %Ar increases.
  • Intended for single and multiple pass welding of structural steel and fabrications utilizing high strength, low alloy steels, such as HY-100, ASTM A514, A633, and A710.
  • Typical applications include low temperature storage tanks, offshore drilling rigs, shipbuilding, and construction machinery where excellent low-temperature toughness is required.
