Descriptions
Mild Steel General Purpose

Characteristics
The ideal, general purpose electrode. ISOARC 112 is a heavy-coated rutile electrode that gives a quality finish. The arc is easy to control and produces minimal spatter. Low amperage performance prevents distortion. Contact welding enables thin sections to be welded easily. Any slag is easily removed.

Applications
ISOARC 112 is used in workshops for welds requiring all round good weld appearance. Ideal for burglar bars, gates, framework, steel cabinets, piping, boilers, component manufacture and fabrications

Procedures
Avoid excessive amperage, and use AC or DC straight polarity. Maintain a short arc and use a stringer-bead or weaving technique. Light gauge material may be contact welded. Slag is easily removed with minimal impact on the area surrounding the weld.

Redrying
Should electrodes become moist redry at 120° C for 1 hour.
