SELECTION OF WELDING
CONSUMABLES
Selections of SMAW
Welding Electrodes
Fill-Freeze Electrode
Rutile
Medium rate of deposition, medium penetration
e.g. E6012, E6013
Fast-Fill Electrodes
Iron Powder
High rate of deposition, low penetration, greater % recovery
e.g. E7024
Pipe welding
Vertical up & Overhead
Maintainance
Galvanised & plated
Deep penetration application
4
Fill-Freeze Electrode
Compromising characteristics of Fast
Freeze & Fast Fill
For general welding application
For all positional welding
Able to weld uneven fit-up
Fast-Fill Electrodes
For down-hand (Flat Position) application
Plate thickness > 5 mm
Bead surface smooth, free of ripples, flat
or slight convex, low spatters, heavy slag
Drag welding possible
Use for:
Production welds
