General purpose, all-position electrode for welding carbon steel, free machining steel, high tensile steel, and
low alloy steel. Special low-hydrogen iron powder coating produces a quiet steady arc, low spatter and medium
arc penetration. High deposition efficiency. X-ray quality weld deposits with a finely rippled smooth bead
appearance and easy slag removal. Excellent charpy impact values at sub-zero temperatures (65 ft-lbs at -20°).
Typical applications include tramp steels, structural and fabrication steels such as beams, angles, channels and
plates, cast steels, process piping steels, cold rolled steel, and shipbuilding steels.

- Low Hydrogen Coating – Designed to minimize hydrogen in the weld metal
- High Strength Welds – Produces strong, durable joints suitable for load-bearing structures
- All-Position Capability
- Iron Powder Coating – Increases deposition rate
- Smooth, Stable Arc – Easy arc control with minimal spatter
- Clean, Attractive Weld Bead – Slag is usually easy to remove and often self-peeling
- Good Penetration (Moderate) – Ideal for well-prepared joints
- Works on AC or DC (DCEP)
