Smooth arc transfer, low spatter and good bead appearance make this a top quality electrode. Operators will enjoy
the well directed arc with small ball transfer. The fast freezing slag system makes out-of-position welding easy.

Test results for mechanical properties, deposit or electrode composition and diffusible hydrogen levels were obtained from a weld produced and tested according to prescribed
standards, and should not be assumed to be the expected results in a particular application or weldment. Actual results will vary depending on many factors, including, but not
limited to, weld procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design and fabrication methods. Users are cautioned to confirm by qualification testing, or other appro-
priate means, the suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in the intended application.
