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.
