Description
SifTrode 6013-R Mild Steel Electrode – 2.5 mm x 5 Kg
SIFTrode 6013-R is a versatile, general-purpose rutile-coated mild steel MMA electrode. It is designed for both butt and fillet joints in a wide range of general fabrication and repair tasks. This includes platework, pipe flanges, frames, tubes, construction, structural steels, and pressure vessels. The electrode produces a smooth arc, leaves an attractive weld bead, and can be used on land-based steel structures and general fabrication.
Features & Benefits:
- Ideal for a broad variety of general fabrication and repair tasks.
- Can be used in DC+, DC- or AC (min OCV 50V) currents/polarities.
- If required, it should be re-dried at 100°C for 1 hour.
- Leaves an attractive weld bead and runs smoothly.
- Suitable for easy use in all popular welding positions.
- Offers a smooth arc, low spatter, and easy-lifting slag, revealing a finely-rippled bead.
Common Applications:
- Platework, pipe flanges, frames, and tubes.
- Construction, structural steels, and pressure vessels.
- Land-based steel structures and general fabrication.
