Application/properties:
Electrode with special coating for cutting, gouging and piercing of steel and grey cast iron is very useful in repair and demolition.
| Welding Parameters | ||
|---|---|---|
| Diameter (mm) | Length (mm) | Amperage (A) |
| 3.25 | 450 | 160 – 200 |
| 4 | 450 | 200 – 280 |
| 5 | 450 | 280 – 350 |
Suitable for:
All steels (particularly for stainless and manganese steels which cannot be cut by theoxyacetylene process), also for cast iron, copper and its alloys etc.
Considerations:
For gouging, the electrode should be held at an angle of 5 to 10 degrees to the work surface in the direction of travel. To remove defective parts of the cast iron, several holes should be made in different directions. For drilling or driving out rivets and the like, the electrode should be held perpendicular to the work surface.
