Select 80C-Ni1LS

Low Alloy / Metal Cored / Gas Shielded

Resources

Features

  • Select 80C-Ni1 LS is a low alloy steel, composite metal cored electrode for gas shielded arc welding, designed to produce fewer slag islands than typical metal cored wires.
  • Can be used with shielding gas mixtures of 75-95% Ar/balance CO₂, and 95-98% Ar/balance O₂.
  • A good selection for welding steels such as ASTM A203-Grade E, A302, A575, and A633
  • Typical applications include fabrication of earthmoving machinery parts and buckets, mining machinery, and fine-grained structural steels.
