Tensile strength: 84,000 PSI
Amperage: 65-100
Not recommended for use with low open circuit-voltage OCV power sources
Product Features:
OUT OF POSITION WELDING
This welding rod is suitable for all positions on hardenable steels where no preheat is used, and on cold rolled steels normally exhibiting excessive porosity when welded with conventional rod.
LOW HYDROGEN
The low hydrogen content of these electrodes reduces cracking and peeling of the weld material.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL
These electrodes are also ideal for tack welding, and for projects that involve difficult steels to weld (thick sections, restrained joints with cracking issues, etc.).
