Product Description
A mild Steel Welding Electrode is designed for welding low-carbon steels, also known as mild steels. These electrodes are typically made of a mild steel core wire and coated with a flux that provides shielding from the air and other contaminants during the welding process. The coating on the electrode also helps to stabilize the arc and improve the overall quality of the weld. Mild Steel Welding Electrode is commonly used in a variety of applications, including welding pipes, tanks, and structural steel. They are also often used for general fabrication work, such as building trailers or repairing machinery.
Superior Rutile Coating for Smooth WeldsWith its rutile-based coating, this mild steel electrode enables excellent arc stability and easy slag removal, which leads to clean and uniform weld beads. The rutile formula also enhances deposition rates and minimizes spatter, making the welding process smoother and more efficient.
Complies with International StandardsManufactured according to AWS A5.1 E6013 standards, these electrodes cater to global industry requirements for quality and consistency. Their high corrosion resistance and 500 MPa tensile strength ensure long-lasting performance in demanding environments and critical applications.
Versatility Across Welding ProcessesOperating seamlessly on both AC and DC currents with an opening pattern for AC, these electrodes adapt easily to machine and hand welding. Their compatibility with a standard 220 V supply and an 80-120 Amp current range allows for flexibility across varied industrial setups in India.
FAQ's of Mild Steel Welding Electrode:
Q: How should I store these E6013 rutile-coated electrodes to preserve their quality?
A: Store the electrodes in a dry, moisture-free environment at normal room temperature to prevent the rutile coating from absorbing humidity. Proper storage ensures sustained arc stability and prevents defects during welding.
Q: What are the benefits of using rutile-coated electrodes for mild steel welding?
A: Rutile-coated electrodes offer smooth arc initiation, reduced spatter, and effortless slag removal, resulting in neat weld seams. They work effectively on both AC and DC polarity, making them versatile for various mild steel applications.
Q: When is it appropriate to use this electrode for industrial welding work?
A: These electrodes are best suited for general fabrication, structural welding, and routine repair jobs under normal room temperatures, where medium tensile strength (500 MPa) and high corrosion resistance are needed.
Q: Where can I purchase these electrodes in India?
A: You can acquire these mild steel electrodes from authorized suppliers and experienced traders across various industrial hubs in India. Many distributors offer different sizes and options to match your specific requirements.
Q: What process should be followed for optimal welding with these electrodes?
A: Set your welding machine to a current range of 80-120 Amps and use a voltage of 220 V with either AC or DC polarity. Ensure the work surface is clean, select the appropriate electrode diameter, and steadily maintain your arc for smooth and consistent welds.
Q: How does the high melting point and tensile strength improve the performance of these electrodes?
A: The 1450C melting point allows for sustained high-temperature use without deformation, while the 500 MPa tensile strength delivers durable and strong welds even in demanding industrial settings.
