INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATIONS

AWS/ASME A 5.1 E 6013

EN 499: E 420 RC 11

DIN 1913: E 5122 R C 3

ISO 2560 E 51.2RR22

NFA 81-309: E 512/2 R 12

BS 619: E 5122 R 12

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 f l a t , 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 covered MIG alloy as item #7166.
