Non-copper coated welding wires

The latest ESAB OK AristoRod noncopper coated welding wires are said to offer significant improvements in productivity and quality , enabling users to cut the cost of manual, mechanised or robotic welding.

The wires are available in 15 different grades for use with normal strength, high-strength, creepresistant and weather-resistant steels.

There is also a broad choice of wire diameters.

Featuring ESAB's Advanced surface Characteristics, OK AristoRod resists corrosion during storage and handling and is said to avoid problems of build-ups on feed units, liners and guns.

ESAB believes tip wear to be as low as that experienced with the best copper-coated wires, and says the feeding force is low.
