Select 95-K2

Low Alloy / Flux Cored / Gas Shielded

Resources

Features

  • This product utilizes a lime-fluoride, or (chemically) basic slag system to produce weld deposits which are low in oxygen, have low diffusible hydrogen levels, and exhibit outstanding mechanical properties.
  • Arc transfer is a large droplet, globular mode.
  • Intended for single and multiple pass welding of structural steel and fabrications utilizing high strength, low alloy steels, such as HY-80, ASTM A514, A633, and A710.
  • Typical applications include low temperature storage tanks, offshore drilling rigs, shipbuilding, and construction machinery.
