Product description
Universal rutile electrode specially developed for welding in a vertical position using the descending method. Good penetration, even, slightly convex bead on the flat, self-releasing slag in the vertical-down position. Intended for all standard constructions where the majority of beads are to be made in the downward position, but also commonly used as a universal electrode.
Applications: steel construction, locksmith and maintenance work, structural work, pipe penetration…
