• Effortless starts
• No starting porosity, ideal for tacking, increases productivity
• Low moisture absorption rate
• Reduces potential for hydrogen cracking
• Very stable arc with low spatter
• Ideal for all positions; produces good looking welds; reduces clean-up time
• Good wetting action
• Produces a flat bead contour, prevents cold lap and undercutting
• Easy slag removal
• Quick clean-up, increases productivity
• 2.6 lb/hr at 130 amp deposition rate, 73.1% at 130 amp efficiency
• Flat, horizontal, vertical up, overhead welding positions
• Physical state: cored wire, form: coated rod, color: gray
• 26.5 volt
