DETAILS

Lincoln Electric's triple deoxidized premium copper coated MIG wire, SuperArc® L-52® is an excellent choice for making high quality, high toughness welds, even when welding over rust and mill scale

Features

  • Triple deoxidized (Aluminum, Titanium, Zirconium) ER70S-2 solid wire designed for welding over rust and mill scale without sacrificing weld quality
  • Very low nitrogen in the steel to help achieve impact resistance above 70 ft•lbs @-20°F
  • Microguard® Ultra provides superior feeding, arc stability and improved protection against corrosion
  • Copper coating promotes excellent arc starting and extremely low contact tip wear.
  • Very low spatter levels and fume emissions.
  • Preferred for all position welding of different sizes of pipe.

Typical Applications

  • Root, fill and cap pass welding for Piping Industries
  • Metal Fabrication
  • Power Generation

Welding Positions

  • All

Shielding Gas

  • 100% CO2, 75-95% Argon/ Balance CO2, Flow Rate: 30-50 CFH
