STARGOLD 10 XD – High Strength Electrode for Carbon & V-Mo Steels
STARGOLD 10 XD is a heavy-coated, rutile-type MMA welding electrode formulated for maintenance and fabrication welding of low, medium, and high carbon steels, including V-Mo spring steels. It delivers high-strength weld metal with excellent machinability, low spatter, and smooth bead finish. Suitable for both repair and production environments, this electrode excels in applications where toughness and hardness are critical.
With its stable arc, easy slag removal, and minimal spatter, STARGOLD 10 XD is trusted for restoring worn components and for fabrication where post-weld machining is required.
Available Packs: 3.15mm, 4.00mm, 5.00mm
