Description
OK Tubrod 15.14 is a flux-cored, tubular wire for all-positional welding using either Ar/CO2 or CO2.
The wire is suitable for all mild and medium tensile structural steels.
The running characteristics are exceptional, using the spray mode of transfer, and this applies equally to both shielding gases
OK Tubrod 15.14 is also universally approved to grade 3 by all major authorities
Shielding gas Ar/20%CO2 or CO2
Supplied on metal basket. Requires spool adaptor #2691
