Stick electrodes ESAB OK 43.32

ESAB OK 43.32 Stick electrode

Non-alloyed and low-alloyed steels

• Low spatter – self-peeling slag
• Pleasant welding characteristics
• Root pass weldability confirmed
• High-quality seams
• Good for thin sheet welding

 

A thick rutile-coated stick electrode with excellent welding properties, suitable for many applications. Quiet, stable arc. Suitable for all welding positions. Also manageable by inexperienced welders due to its ease of use.

Offers good gap bridging.

Easy ignition and re-ignition, offers pleasant welding characteristics.

Can be welded with DC -pole and with AC (welding transformer).

The electrodes can also be used for welding beautiful cover layers on visible seams in tank construction.

The electrode is used for thin sheets from 1.6mm diameter and is also suitable for vertical-down welds up to 2.0mm diameter.

General: steels, thin sheets, pipe steels, heat-treatable steels, boiler plates
