Select 80C-Ni1LS
Low Alloy / Metal Cored / Gas Shielded
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.
