Select 70C-8 is a carbon steel, composite metal cored electrode for gas-shielded arc welding of carbon steels. This electrode is intended for single and limited multiple pass welding of horizontal fillet and flat position weldments. Select 70C-8 has special deoxidation which makes it very effective when welding over heavy rust, mill scale, oils or other contaminants.
Features
Welds over rust, mill scale, paint and other contaminants.
Primarily a single pass electrode with limited multiple pass capability.
Good mechanical properties.
Applications
Select 70C-8 is ideal for those difficult-to-weld items such as heavily rusted or scaled surfaces or when steel is coated with oil or paint.
This is primarily a single pass electrode if used on clean surfaces due to the high level of deoxidizers.
Strength levels and CVN toughness make this electrode well suited to weld both ordinary and fine grained carbon steels such as ASTM A36, A285, A516 Gr 70 and A515 Gr 70.
Caution
Protect yourself and others read the safety data sheet prior to using this product.
