Select 720HP is the latest addition to the Select-Arc line of premium, flux cored, gas-shielded electrodes. This electrode is designed for single and multiple pass welding of carbon steels in all positions.

APPLICATIONS: There are numerous applications for which Select 720HP is well suited, many of them previously reserved for EXX18 covered electrodes. This electrode excels in welding where requirements are stringent, such as offshore platforms and pipe systems, pressure vessels, oil and gas pipelines, petrochemical pipelines, structural steel, bridge fabrication and many others.

DIAMETERS: .035", .045", .052", 1/16"

SHIELDING GAS: 100% CO2, 35-50 cfh

WELDING POSITIONS: All positions

CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Excellent bead geometry.
  • Extraordinary CVN toughness.
  • Low fume generation rates and diffusible hydrogen levels.
  • Exceptional resistance to moisture pickup.
  • Easily exceeds all “recommended requirements.”
