Select 74
Carbon Steel / Flux Cored / Self Shielded
Features
- This electrode is intended for flat position welding of grooves and fillets and horizontal fillet welding with extremely high deposition rates.
- The highly basic slag minimizes hot cracking on steels high in sulfur.
- Slag detachment is quite good, and the bead profile is slightly convex.
- Typical applications are light gauge steel plate fabrication or general purpose fabrication of carbon steels.
- Select 74 is also a good choice in poor fit up situations or when extended stickouts must be used in hard-to-reach areas.
