SPOOLARC® 29S is a general purpose copper coated solid wire suitable for many carbon steel welding applications using the MIG/Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). SPOOLARC® 29S contains moderate amounts of manganese and silicon to provide sufficient deoxidation over light mill scale. Shielding gas choices for SPOOLARC® 29S in the GMAW mode are 100% carbon dioxide, argon/carbon dioxide mixtures, argon/oxygen mixtures and other argon based mixed gas blends. SPOOLARC® 29S is used in a wide variety of applications including heavy equipment, automotive parts, railcars, agricultural equipment and sheet metal welding.
