Select 810-Ni2

Low Alloy / Flux Cored / Gas Shielded

Resources

Features

  • Exhibits a spray-like arc transfer and low spatter.
  • Intended for single and multiple pass welding, on carbon and low alloy steels requiring good charpy v-notch toughness at temperatures as low as -40F.
  • Designed as a dual gas electrode, 100%CO₂ and 75-80% argon – balance CO₂.
  • Typical steels welded with this electrode include ASTM A572, A302, A588, and A734.
  • Select 810-Ni2 is ideal for applications such as offshore platform construction, shipbuilding, earthmoving and mining machinery.
