FAQs

What type of welding current can I use with these electrodes?

These electrodes are compatible with both AC and DC welding currents.

What materials can I weld with these electrodes?

These electrodes are designed for welding mild steel.

How do I choose the correct electrode size?

Select the electrode size based on the thickness of the metal being welded. Refer to the packaging for guidance.

How should I store the electrodes?

Store the electrodes in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption.

Why is my weld porous?

Porous welds can be caused by contamination on the metal surface or incorrect welding parameters. Ensure the metal is clean and adjust amperage and welding speed.

How do I remove slag?

Allow the weld to cool slightly, then use a chipping hammer and wire brush to remove the slag.

Troubleshooting

Weld porosity (bubbles)

Ensure the metal surface is clean. Reduce welding speed or increase the amperage.

Slag not removing easily

Allow the weld to cool slightly. Use a chipping hammer and wire brush to remove the slag.

Arc instability

Check the electrode connection and ensure the welding machine is properly grounded. Adjust amperage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for various welding positions.
  • Compatible with both AC and DC welding currents.
  • Produces clean welds.
  • Complies with the BS EN 757 standard, assuring quality.

Cons

  • Requires proper current settings for optimal results.
  • Specific applications may require different electrode types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Clean the metal surfaces to be welded. Remove any rust, paint, or contaminants.
  2. Equipment: Ensure you have the correct welding machine set to the appropriate current type (AC or DC) and amperage for the electrode size.
  3. Electrode Selection: Choose the correct electrode diameter for your welding task. The 2mm electrodes are best for thin materials.
  4. Welding Technique: Use the appropriate welding technique for the position (flat, vertical, overhead). Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed.
  5. Storage: Store electrodes in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption. This helps maintain weld quality.
