Rutile Electrode RUTWELD12 Classic 2.0x300mm 2.5kg Pack

Rutile welding electrodes for general fabrication and repair deliver a stable, smooth arc with low spatter and self-releasing slag, ensuring clean, fine-rippled weld beads in all positions including vertical-down. This 2.0 mm diameter, 300 mm length electrode is supplied in a 2.5 kg pack, ideal for light structural work, sheet metal, and shipbuilding applications.

Advantages

Excellent re-ignition and easy slag removal reduce post-weld cleaning time. The medium rutile coating provides a stable arc on AC and DC currents, with low spatter for minimal cleanup. High impact strength (>47 J at 0°C) and elongation (>22%) ensure durable welds on mild and low-alloy steels.

Suitable for

• General fabrication and repair work
• Light structural steel welding
• Sheet metal and thin plate applications
• Shipbuilding and marine repairs
• Welding in all positions, including vertical-down
