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 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
