• A carbon steel, flux cored, gas shielded electrode for welding flat and horizontal fillet and flat
groove welds
• Can be used with both 100% CO2 and 75-80% Ar/balance CO2 shielding gases
• This product utilizes a lime-fluoride, or (chemically) basic slag, as opposed to the acid, or
rutile, slag systems of the E7XT-1 electrodes
• Basic slags produce weld deposits which are low in oxygen, have low diffusible hydrogen
levels, and exhibit outstanding mechanical properties
• Arc transfer is a large droplet, globular mode
• Intended for structural welding and plate fabrications of carbons steels, such as ASTM A36,
A285, A515-Gr 70, and A516-Gr 70
• Typical applications include earthmoving equipment, mining machinery, cranes, and boom
sections
