American Made for ARRA-Funded Projects

Lincoln Electric manufactures welding wire and electrodes to meet the Buy America requirements for infrastructure rebuild projects related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).

American Made Welding Wire and FluxBuy America requirements are applicable to most ARRA funded projects and mandate that contractors involved in infrastructure rebuild must use welding consumables made with steel melted in the U.S.

Lincoln offers several products made with green rod or strip melted in U.S. steel mills. Please contact a Lincoln Electric representative for details about how to order Buy America products.
