DIN: NONE

FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

For joining common steels where extra strength is required in the weld. Exceptional where vertical welds have to be made.

  • Totally unique “High Tensile Mild Steel” electrode that excels at vertical welding.
  • Easy to use in all positions.
  • Extra high tensile strength 97,000 psi (705 MPa).
  • Special violet colored flux establishes immediate recognition.
