Selec ARC100C

The Selec ARC100C is a high-performance metal-cored welding wire designed for joining low alloy and high-strength steels. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring a minimum tensile strength of 100,000 psi in the deposited weld metal.

Key Features:

• High Tensile Strength: Delivers a minimum tensile strength of 100,000 psi in the weld deposit, making it ideal for demanding structural applications.

• Low Spatter Emission: Operates with a pure spray transfer arc, resulting in minimal spatter and cleaner welds.

• Versatile Shielding Gas Compatibility: Compatible with 95–98% Argon / 2–5% Oxygen or 92–95% Argon / 2–8% CO₂ shielding gases.

• Recommended Welding Positions: Optimized for flat and horizontal welding positions.

• Polarity: Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) for optimal arc stability and heat distribution.

• Applications: Ideal for use in shipbuilding, earthmoving equipment, mining machinery, and other heavy-duty structural applications.
