Smootharc 18 Electrode 2.5mm x 2.0kg VacPk

Basic-coated low hydrogen AC / DC electrode for which the outstanding all-round operability has been optimised. The smooth, soft arc, easy slag control, all positional welding with low spatter and excellent slag removal provide maximum operator appeal.

• With its excellent general operability and good positional welding characteristics, the Smootharc 18 is used for general fabrication work as well as pipe welding where the fine spray transfer provides precise weld pool control
• The fine arc spray also makes it an ideal electrode for the experienced welder, and for positional work in demanding applications
• The electrode produces a finely rippled bead surface and smooth transition with the base material
• Exceptionally good slag detachability, even in root runs, gives the Smootharc 18 superior radiographic quality
• It is also an ideal electrode for use on AC machines with an OCV of 70V
