A high iron powder, rutile type electrode designed for the fast down hand welding of mild steel using AC or DC power sources. Features include high deposition rates/efficiencies and flat to slightly concave fillet welds with excellent “edge wash” and slag detachability. With its smooth running, positive re strike and high current carrying capacity, Austarc 24 is the ideal f illet welding electrode for down hand positions aimed at higher productivity. Austarc 24 is suited to long, heavy fillet and butt welding applications using a touch welding or ‘short arc’ technique. Such applications include the production welding of tanks, structural members/frames and truck and tractor bodies. FEATURES Easy Slag Removal The Austarc 24 stick electrode produces flat to slightly concave fillet welds with excellent 'edge wash' and slag detachability. Smooth Running The Austarc 24 welding electrode has smooth running, positive re strike and high current carrying capacity.
