SAFWELD

APPLICATIONS/ PROPERTIES:

Medium- coated, rutile type electrode especially

suitable for light gauge sheet welding. When fillet

welding, the SAFWELD electrode can be kept in

contact with the workpiece with no resultant

excess convexity. Very little spatter loss. Smooth

bead appearance.
