Rutile tubular cored electrode with enhanced filling degree. Particularly designed for shipbuilding applications, especially for vertical up welding, even without waving the torch. Suitable for welding metal constructions in single and multipass technique. Due to it's easily contollable weld pool, it exhibits outstanding welding properties. It can be welded in all positions with setting the parameters only once (for 1.2 mm, 24 volts, wire feeding speed 9 m/min) The enhanced filling degree results in increased current carrying capacity and deposition rate, thus essentially increasing welding speed and leading to a saving of time and costs. Low spatter loss, easy slag removal, smooth and finely rippled welds without undercutting into the base metal.
