OERLIKON Electrode FI 2.5 Pink (230 pcs) - 4.5 kg Overcord - Rutile Welding Electrode EN ISO 2560-A E 38 0 R 12 / AWS A5.1 E6013

The OERLIKON Electrode FI 2.5 Pink is a rutile-coated general-purpose welding electrode that delivers exceptionally stable arc performance and easy slag removal across all welding positions. Supplied in a 4.5 kg Overcord pack containing approximately 230 electrodes, it is ideal for fabricators and repair workshops requiring consistent, high-quality welds on mild steel.

Advantages

This electrode offers a smooth, stable arc with excellent re-ignition, making it easy to use even for less experienced welders. The self-releasing slag detaches cleanly, reducing post-weld cleanup time. Low spatter levels mean less grinding and a cleaner work area. It operates on both AC and DC currents, providing flexibility with different welding machines. The pink flux coating is not only distinctive but also contributes to the electrode's reliable performance.

Suitable for

• General fabrication and structural steelwork
