A medium-covered rutile-cellulosic electrode with versatile applications for welding steel structures, both in heavy industry and in workshop applications.
It performs excellently in all positions, especially vertical-down, and can be used with the same welding currents in all positions.
It provides a smooth and slightly concave weld bead, no undercuts, and easily removable slag.
A key feature of this electrode is its ease of arc ignition, both during the initial welding phase and during re-ignition. The strong and concentrated arc of this electrode enables welding of galvanized, primed, or slightly corroded components.
The electrode is suitable for welding with small transformer machines.
a stable arc and very good welding characteristics,
easy ignition and reignition,
low spatter and clean, smooth welds,
easily removable slag,
AC and DC welding with negative polarity,
all welding positions except vertical down.
OERLIKON OVERCORD welding electrodes are particularly useful in:
machinery and shipbuilding,
assembly and repair work,
welding of boilers, tanks, and steel structures,
workshop and production environments.
The OERLIKON OVERCORD welding electrode is a reliable choice for welders looking for a universal rutile electrode with simple application and consistent results.
