Radiographic Weld Quality, Smooth Bead Appearance, Site Current Tolerance
Rutile medium-coated electrode for structural and pipe welding where precise fit-up and site variability are common. Delivers a forceful yet soft arc, finely rippled weld appearance, and consistent usability across variable current conditions. Optimised for radiographic-quality welds in shipbuilding and construction.
