CLASSIFICATIONS: E71T-1C, T-1M, E71T-9C, T-9M per AWS A5.20, ASME SFA 5.20

APPROVALS: ABS 3SA-3YSA, DNV 3 YMS

Select 727 is a new electrode formulated to provide improved deposition rates and enhanced welder appeal, compared to electrodes such as Select 710. This electrode is intended for single and multiple pass welding of carbon steels and is designed for use with 100 percent carbon dioxide and 75-80 percent argon/balance carbon dioxide.

APPLICATIONS: The combination of strength and toughness make Select 727 ideal for welding carbon steels requiring a minimum tensile strength of 70,000 psi. Select 727 is superb for such applications as structural steel, farm machinery, construction equipment, railcar fabrication and shipbuilding, where the following steels may be employed: ASTM A131, A285, A515 Gr 70 and A516 Gr 70.

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

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

WELDING POSITIONS: All positions

CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Greatly reduced fume emissions and spatter level.
  • Fast freezing slag facilitates all position capability.
  • Superior bead geometry to conventional E71T-1C electrodes.
