Spoolarc 83 contains 0.5% Mo to provide higher deposit strength in both the as welded
and stress relieved conditions. It contains high levels of Manganese and Silicon to
provide good wetting and good rust and scale tolerance. Spoolarc 83 is also used for
all-position welding of high tensile pipe and tubing commonly found in earthmoving and
construction equipment. It is available in forms suitable for MIG and TIG welding.

Extra Information
Usable with OK Flux 231.
