FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

Especially suited for vertical down and up welding of thin to medium gauge molybdenum bearing stainless steels.

  • Special vertical position stainless steel electrode.
  • Unique “Fast-Freeze” coating simplifies vertical down and up welding.
  • Ideal for poor fit up joints in all positions.
  • Controlled weld puddle allows for filling holes on stainless steels.

Welding Current & Instructions

Recommended Current: DC Reverse (+) or AC

Diameter (mm)5/64 (2.0)3/32 (2.5)1/8 (3.25)
Minimum Amperage356090
Maximum Amperage5580110

Welding Techniques: For vertical welding, set amperage at high end of the scale. Maintain a sharp angle with the electrode pointing upward. Whip the electrode quickly back and forth while moving up or down. Electrode may show a red color from the excess amperage which is normal.

Welding Positions: Flat, Horizontal, Vertical up, Vertical down, Overhead
