Industrial gas cylinder ARCAL™ M14

gasCO2cylindrical

Presentation
ARCAL™ M14 is a MAG welding gas developed for welding thin steel sheets. Ternary blend: 3% CO2 + 1% O2 in Argon. Product compliant with EN ISO 14175-M14-ArCO-3/1 (welding application).

Applications

• MAG welding of carbon steels
• MAG welding of stainless steels
• Welding of electro-galvanized steels

Detailed description
ARCAL™ M14 is formulated for high performance on thin plates (up to 5 mm). It simplifies welding parameter settings and ensures stable metal transfer, significantly reducing spatter and post-weld finishing work.

Simplicity

• Easy-to-use gas suitable for multiple processes
• Facilitates electrical parameter setup
• Standard SMARTOP™ valve on cylinders; optional EXELTOP™ (integrated regulator valve)

Performance

• Good wetting for well-formed beads with low silicate content
• Suitable for pulsed and spray-arc modes across a wide operating range
• Balanced welding speeds with low fume and spatter emissions and low oxidizing effect
• Suitable for manual and automated welding; capable of producing radiographic-quality welds

Reliability

• Precise blend (3% CO2 / 1% O2 in Argon) for productivity, wetting and arc stability while controlling oxidation, spatter and fumes
• Very low impurity levels (H2O and N2)

Ease of use & packaging

• Available in multiple packagings: cylinders and large-volume frames
• Standard and optional equipment for simplified handling (SMARTOP™, EXELTOP™)
