Here's an electrode that makes short work of even the most challenging high silicon pipe applications. Shield-Arc® 70+ is an outstanding choice for API 5LX-56 through X70 grade pipe, as well as for a wide range of sheet metal welding assignments
- Deep penetration with maximum admixture
- Light slag with little slag interference for easy arc control
- Capable of x-ray quality welds, even out-of-position
- All position pipe welding low alloy steel stick electrode
- Clean, visible weld puddle
- Superior puddle control
