SPOOLARC® 86 is a copper coated solid wire containing high levels of manganese and silicon. SPOOLARC® 86 is suitable for many carbon steel welding applications using the MIG/Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process. The high levels of deoxidizers in SPOOLARC® 86 provide excellent tolerance of rust and mill scale. The high levels of manganese and silicon also provide excellent wetting action and a highly fluid weld puddle. Shielding gas choices for SPOOLARC® 86 in the GMAW mode are 100% carbon dioxide, argon/carbon dioxide mixtures, argon/oxygen mixtures and other argon based mixed gas blends. SPOOLARC® 86 excels in HVAC duct work, heavy equipment fabrication, structural and other general steel fabrication.
