Select 722 is a flux cored electrode formulated to enhance all position welding performance, particularly in the overhead position. The preferred shielding gas is 100 percent carbon dioxide but Select 722 is also designed to weld on blends of 75-80 percent argon/balance carbon dioxide.

APPLICATIONS: The combination of welding performance and mechanical properties make Select 722 well suited to demanding applications such as shipbuilding, railcar manufacture, structural welding and general fabrication.

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

SHIELDING GAS: 100% CO2, 75-80%Ar/balance CO2, 35-50 cfh

WELDING POSITIONS: All positions

CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Smooth arc transfer with very little spatter emission.
  • Quick freezing slag provides exceptional weldability.
  • Deposits weld bead without convexity.
