ARCAL™ Chrome 

ARCALTM Chrome is the most efficient gas mixture for all stainless steel MAG welding. This product is carefully selected to match with chromium – the key component of steels for corrosion resistance. From household appliances to chemical vessels and pipes, for both austenitic and ferritic stainless steels, ARCALTM Chrome offers brilliant welding performance with a clean weld aspect.

ARCAL™ Speed

Mixed for high-travel speed and high-deposition rate MAG welding of carbon steels, ARCALTM Speed is the essential arc welding gas when weld time is a critical factor and is ideal for automatic and robotic applications. Highly adaptable with low fume and spatter emissions that reduces post-welding operations, characteristics of ARCALTM Speed make it the choice when high productivity is needed without sacrificing quality.

ARCAL™ Force

ARCALTM Force is the ready-to-weld solution for MAG welding of heavy carbon steel structures. From earthmoving and agricultural equipment to bridge building and ship modules, ARCALTM Force was engineered with heavy use in mind. No matter the surface – oxidized or contaminated, gapped or mismatched – it is extremely tolerant to preparation. ARCALTM Force is ready for your toughest and most challenging welding applications.
