Select 721 Mil

Carbon Steel / Flux Cored / Gas Shielded

Resources

Features

  • Intended for single and multiple pass welding of carbon steels, such as ASTM A36, A131, and A285
  • Designed for shielding with blends of 75-80% Ar/balance CO₂
  • The higher argon blends offer lower fume generation rates than shielding with carbon dioxide
  • Developed primarily for Naval shipbuilding applications
