Tru-Core® FC 70T is a flux cored, gas-shielded electrode, designed for single and multiple pass welding of carbon steels in the flat position and for horizontal fillets. FC 70T is suitable for welding most carbon steels requiring a minimum tensile strength of 70,000 psi. This electrode is designed to operate with 100% carbon dioxide shielding gas. The rutile-based slag system promotes a smooth arc transfer and extremely easy slag removal.
CHARACTERISTICS
PRODUCT FEATURES:
- Great choice for deep groove welds
- Flat bead geometry
- Easy slag removal
- Low spatter
- Excellent feedability
- Smooth arc transfer
