Generator set offers smooth arc welding
Housed in a compact, corrosion-resistant SS case, a 300A welding generator set has 'Chopper Technology' to deliver efficient starts and a smooth arc for general welding.
Used to make fillet, lap or butt welds on single- and multiple-pass welding applications, UltraCore is available in a wide variety of diameters, for use with 100% CO2 and argon/CO2 mixtures.
The wire also delivers fast freezing slag for easier out-of-position welding.
It is said to be ideal for a wide variety of applications, including ship building and structural fabrication.
UltraCore is packaged in Lincoln's patented ProTech moisture-resistant, vacuum-sealed foil bag packaging system, ensuring reliable protection.
The packaging system delivers potentially lower preheat temperatures and increased resistance to gas tracking and weld cracking.
UltraCore 71C and 71A85 are AWS "-D" certified to meet the demanding requirements of D1.8 Structural Steel Fabrication - Seismic Supplement.
They also meet the stringent requirements of FEMA 353.
All raw steel used in UltraCore electrodes is tested upon receipt, and Lincoln only uses the material that best matches each electrode requirement.
Additionally, the diameter and chemistry of all wire is tested at up to19 different points in the production process.
Lincoln said that the Ultracore product provides excellent deposition rates, unparalleled consistency, superior arc action, superb bead shape, easy slag removal and exceptional puddle (weld pool - EEd) control.
