Description and applications

An acid-rutile coated electrode for the high quality welding of stainless steels of the 19% chromium, 9% nickel type. Emphasis on welder appeal has resulted in an electrode which strikes and re-strikes easily. A smooth, quiet arc offers excellent manipulation and a neat, finely rippled weld profile.
