Select 737 is a carbon steel electrode for flux cored arc welding with an external shielding gas. This electrode is intended for single and multiple-pass welding of carbon and certain low alloy steels where a minimum tensile strength of 70,000 psi is required. The recommended shielding gas is 75 percent Argon/25 percent Carbon Dioxide, with a flow rate of 40 cfh and a dew point of at least -40 degrees F.

APPLICATIONS: The combination of weldability and good mechanical properties make Select 737 a superb choice for general purpose, flux cored welding of steels requiring a minimum of 70,000 psi tensile strength. Typical applications include structural steel, farm machinery, construction equipment and general carbon steel fabrication.
