Rutile type flux cored (tubular) wire with fast-freezing slag. Owing to its easily controllable weld pool, electrode is well suited for positional welding with higher currents, resulting in increased deposition rates. Particularly suited for welding in the horizontal-vertical position, e.g. in tank welding. Electrode of 1.2 mm in diameter is also suitable for vertical-down welding. Low spatter loss, easy slag removal, finely ripped pore-free welds blending into base metal without undercut.
