FLUX CORED OPEN ARC WIRE |

| AI-1500-TDS | AWS/ASME A5.20.79: E71-T11 AS/NZS 2576-2203-B7 | AI-1500 is a self-shielded welding wire for general purpose welding in all positions. Used on DC electrode negative, the wire has a smooth spray transfer even at low currents and arc voltages.

Too short a stick out does not allow the shield to form and porosity can result. AI-1500 is designed to operate in spray transfer mode at lower amps and voltages than is usual for a particular wire diameter. The low heat input makes it particularly suited for fabrication of thin gauge materials.
