Mild Steel Covered Electrodes - AWS Class E6012

AC-DCEN (Electrode Negative)

Code and Specification Data

AWS A5.1, ASME SFA 5.1 (A-1, F-2)

CWB-CSA W48.1, E41012

It is a multi-purpose rutile electrode that retains advantage of poor fit-up welding and convex bead along with smooth arc of iron powder. It also takes high amperage of production welding.

Typical applications include truck bodies, trailers, tanks, farm machinery, and auto parts.
