Flux Core Welding Gases
| Metal | Recommended Shielding Gas | Comments | Part Number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon Steel | StarGold C-25 | Small and large diameter cored wire; short circuiting and globular transfer; good alloy retention; quiet arc; good bead profile; low smoke, fume, and spatter | AR STAR14-T |
| Carbon Steel | Carbon Dioxide | Small and large diameter cored wire; short circuiting and globular transfer; wide penetration profile; higher fume and spatter levels; greater loss of alloying elements | CD 20 |
| Carbon Steel | StarGold C-15 | Only for wires formulated to work in high argon content gas blends; spray like transfer; excellent alloy retention; quiet arc; good bead profile; low smoke, fume and spatter | AR STAR10-T |
| Carbon Steel | CO2 | Deep penetration and fast travel speeds but with higher burnthrough potential and more spatter; high current mechanized welding | CD 20 |
| Stainless Steel | StarGold C-25 | Small diameter cored wire; spray transfer; good bead profile; little smoke and spatter; low fume; clean welds | AR STAR14-T |
| Stainless Steel | Carbon Dioxide | Short circuiting and globular transfer; increased penetration, higher fume levels | CD 20 |
| Aluminum | Not Recommended | ||
| Nickel and Cu/Ni Alloys | Not Recommended |
