Electrodes - PLATINUM 16XT Low Hydrogen

Key Features:

• User Friendly: Very Smooth & Stable Arc, Easy Striking, Low Spatter, Easy Slag Removal
• Hydrogen controlled, for welding mild & high-strength (carbon-manganese) steels up to 510MPa
• All-Positional (except for vertical down) & excellent weld appearance
• Twin-coated

 2kg Vacuum Foil Sealed Packs - Reduces Waste & Moisture Exposure:

• Vacuum foil sealed packs keeps moisture out, right up to the point of use
• Smaller pack size reduces waste & minimises exposure to atmospheric moisture

 Why is it Important to Avoid Moisture?

• Air contains moisture (humidity) and any electrode exposed to air will absorb moisture
• This increases hydrogen levels in the electrode (water 'H2O' contains hydrogen 'H')
• Increased hydrogen compromises the strength & mechanical properties of the weld
• Moisture can also negatively affect the arc characteristics of the electrode

 Application Information:

• Mining maintenance & fabrication
• Structural steel & site welding
• Rural maintenance
• Pipe construction
• Boilers & pressure vessels
• Build up or buffer layer prior to hard facing
• Single sided weld joints
• Suitable for all DC or AC welding machines
