The non copper coated OK AristoRod  is a manganese-silicon alloyed solid wire for GMAW of unalloyed steels, such as general structural, pressure vessel, ship building and for fine-grained carbon-manganese steels for the same purpose with a minimum yield strength of max 420 MPa. The electrode can be welded with either a gas mixture or with pure CO2 as the shielding gas. The AristoRod wires are suitable for operating at high currents with maintained disturbance free wire feeding giving a stable arc with a low amount of spatter. OK AristoRod delivered in the unique Esab Octagonal Marathon Pac is excellent in mechanised welding applications.
