DETAILS
The choice for novice or experienced welders looking for an easy to operate self-shielded, flux-cored wire. The excellent arc control and accommodating weld puddle enable operators to make high quality weld deposits regardless of skill level.
Features
- High deposition rates for out-of-position welding
- Welder-friendly, easy to use and great bead appearance
- Minimal gas marking
- Meets AWS D1.8 seismic lot waiver requirements
- NOTES:, Innershield® K126 Gun Assembly requires one of the following gun tube assemblies for better wire feeding - KP2454-1 (62°, 7.5 in), KP2455-1 (45°, 6 in), KP2456-1 (30°, 12 in)
Typical Applications
- Structural fabrication, including those subject to seismic requirements
- General plate fabrication
- Ship and barge fabrication
- Vertical up and overhead fillets and groove welds
Welding Positions
- All
Shielding Gas
- N/A
