MS 46
Rutile electrode vertical down
Description & applications
Universal rutile cellulosic electrode especially elaborated for welding in vertical down position. Good penetration, regular weld beads and a little bit convex in flat position, self releasing slag in vertical down position. Destined for general construction works where the majority of welds are executed in vertical down position, but also used as universal electrode.
Main applications: For metal constructions, blacksmithing and maintenance works, frame, piping...
