Advantages of the NS ARC NS National-Arc™ Copper-Glide™ NS 101 Welding Wire
The NS National-Arc™ Copper-Glide™ NS 101 welding wire is often used in welding thin-gauge metals, such as sheet metal or thin-walled tubing. This is due to its superior arc stability, which can help prevent burn-through and promote a higher quality weld with the thinner material.
Shielding Gas Blends for NS National-Arc™ Copper-Glide™ NS 101 Welding Wire
For optimal performance, Copper-Glide™ NS 101 requires specific shielding gas blends such as:
- 100% CO2
- 75-95% Argon/Balance CO2
- 95-98% Argon/Balance O2
- Flow rate of 35-50 CFH
It is also compatible with all-position welding, provided that the correct shielding gas blends, welding process, and welding parameters are used.
