Select 72 utilizes a rutile based slag system and welds with quasi-spray transfer. This CO2 gas-shielded, flux cored electrode is intended for the single pass welding of carbon steel in flat positions and horizontal fillets.

APPLICATIONS: Select 72 is designed for general steel plate fabrication weldments over mill scale, rust, or other mild contaminants.

DIAMETERS: 3/32", 1/8"

SHIELDING GAS: 100% CO2, 35-50 cfh

WELDING POSITIONS: Flat and Horizontal

CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Single pass electrode with good welder appeal.
  • Low spatter levels, with easily detachable slag.
  • Excellent weld bead profile.

    Notice: The results reported are based upon testing of the product under controlled laboratory conditions in accordance with American Welding Society Standards. Actual use of the product may produce different results due to varying conditions. An example of such conditions would be electrode size, plate chemistry, environment, weldment design, fabrication methods, welding procedure and service requirements. Thus the results are not guarantees for use in the field. The manufacturer disclaims any warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose with respect to its products.
