CLASSIFICATIONS: E71T-1M, T-9M per AWS A5.20, ASME SFA 5.20
Select 717 is a flux cored electrode specially formulated to weld
with high argon gas mixtures. Intended for single and multiple pass
welding of carbon steels in all positions. The recommended
shielding gas is argon with 5-25% carbon dioxide.
APPLICATIONS: Select 717 is best suited for situations where
lower fume levels are required or higher out of position productivity
is desired. Select 717 may be used to join steels such as ASTM A36,
A515 Gr 70, A516 Gr70 and other fine grained steels. Typical applications
include railcars, heavy equipment, structural fabrication and general
plate fabrication.
DIAMETERS: .045", .052", 1/16"
SHIELDING GAS: 75-95% Ar/balance CO2, 35-50 cfh
WELDING POSITIONS: All positions
CHARACTERISTICS:
Very smooth arc transfer with virtually no spatter.
Exceptionally low fume generation.
Maintains handling characteristics in higher argon mixtures.
Quick freezing slag allows for very high deposition rates.
