  • Provides lowest level of fumes on solid wires
  • Used on stainless where high corrosion resistance is needed
STARGON 12
O2/AR		 GMAW, FCAW

Spray Arc		 Carbon Steels
Low Alloy Steels
Stainless
  • Weld puddle fluidity increases
  • Faster travel speeds
  • Lower transition level to spray
  • Droplet size will decrease while the droplet rate will increase
