Description
Tartan Flux Core Wire .035″ Self-Shielded FCAW for Thin Gauge Steel and Galvanized Applications – 2lb Spool
Product Description
All-position performance. Minimal spatter. Clean results.
Tartan Flux Core .035″ is a self-shielded flux-core wire engineered for welding mild and medium alloy steelsespecially thin gauge material and galvanized steel. Designed for single-pass applications, this wire provides smooth arc characteristics, easy slag removal, and excellent weld puddle control in all positions.
With a tensile strength of 80,000 psi and up to 98% deposition efficiency, Tartan FC is ideal for portable wire feeders and field repair work. While shielding gas is not required, optional use of 100% CO can further enhance weld bead appearance and reduce spatter.
