FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

Versatile all around repair and fabrication of clean, well fitting common mild steel components. Fast freeze slag characteristics ensures fully positional operability.

  • Universal all position mild steel electrode available in a variety of colors.
  • Only mild steel electrode offering the convenience of flat, vertical up and down, and overhead without changing amperage setting.
  • Four (4) colors kept in stock at all times Tan (1160), Blue (1159), Gold (1155) and Red (1168).
  • Electrode can be bent without flux breakage.
  • Contact (drag) type transfer allows the electrode to weld by itself.
  • Also available as a torch fusion alloy as item #2161, a TIG alloy as item #6006, a solid.
  • MIG alloy as item #7070 and a flux cored MIG alloy as item #7160 and a gasless flux cored MIG alloy as item #7166.
