Extremely high deposition metal-cored wire designed primarily for Automotive and galvanized applications. Innovative formulation results in higher deposition rates than solid wire, excellent gap-bridging capabilities, and a very high-strength deposit that maintains excellent ductility and impact toughness. Designed for use with DCEN polarity.

• Maintaining a proper welding procedure - including pre-heat and interpass temperatures - may be critical
depending on the type and thickness of steel being welded.
• Pulse waveforms are designed with nominal operating points that may result in average voltage and current
values that differ from the above table. Generally, pulse processes can be expected to produce lower heat
inputs than a standard CV process.
• See Above Tables: This information was determined by welding using direct current electrode negative (DCEN)
polarity, 90% Argon (Ar)/10% Carbon Dioxide (CO2) shielding gas with a flow rate between 35-50 cfh (14-24 l/min) and 1.8 mm hot-dipped 60G galvanized material. For the higher CO2 shielding gas mixtures within the recommended range,increase voltage by 1-2 volts. Variations in welding power supply and pulsed waveforms (if applicable) used during welding may cause discrepancies between actual and listed amperage, voltage or wire feed speeds.
