per MIL-E-24403/1

Select 71P is a gas-shielded, flux cored electrode intended to weld over primers used in the shipbuilding industry. This electrode is multiple pass, for use in the flat position and horizontal fillets. The preferred shielding gas is carbon dioxide, but mixtures up to 92% argon - 8% carbon dioxide may be used.

APPLICATIONS: Select 71P is specially formulated to weld over zinc-based and organic primers in the shipbuilding industry. The slag system and deoxidizers provide excellent resistance to the pitting which occurs when welding over primers used in shipbuilding, barge construction and offshore drilling platform fabrication. This electrode offers good welding performance, along with ease of slag removal and low spatter.

DIAMETERS: .045", .052", 1/16"

SHIELDING GAS: 100% CO2 through 92% Ar - 8% CO2, 35-50 cfh

WELDING POSITIONS: Flat and Horizontal

CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Smooth arc transfer with low spatter.
  • Porosity-free welds possible on primer coated steels.
  • Good mechanical properties.
  • Easy slag removal.
