Select 100-K3

Low Alloy / Flux Cored / Gas Shielded

Resources

Features

  • Designed for flat or horizontal welding in single or multiple pass applications.
  • Intended for use with 100% CO₂ shielding gas with a stable, small to medium droplet arc transfer that produces low spatter.
  • Slag removes easily with no residual slag where minimal clean-up is required.
  • 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.
