Afrox Mig 6000 Welding Wire

Description

Afrox MIG 6000 is produced from high quality deoxidised rod.

The product is copper coated for increased shelf life, which facilitates good electrical conductivity and pick-up with reduced friction during high-speed welding.

MIG 6000 is a premium quality wire which is precision layer wound to provide positive uninterrupted feeding in semi-automatic and automated systems.

Welding Procedure
MIG 6000 is suitable for dip (short arc), spray arc and pulsed arc transfer welding using shielding gases such as Argoshield® 5, Argoshield® Light, Argoshield® Heavy and Argoshield® Universal as well as CO2. Gas flow rates of 15 l/min at low currents rising to 20 l/min at high currents should be used.

MIG 6000 Cert in 1,0 and 1,2 mm are tested in accordance with the requirements of AWS A5.01.
