Basic-Coated Electrodes, Low-Hydrogen, 3.2 mm Dia.
- BlueShield™ Shielded-metal arc welding provide the best possible weld quality
- Leader in the Canadian market, the BlueShield line meets high-quality standards
- The low volume hydrogen diffusion from the weld deposit considerably reduces the tendency to underbead (cold) cracking
- Ideal for boiler and pressure vessel work, structural fabrication, and more
- Allows welding of "difficult-to-weld" steels with less preheat requirements than is required for non-basic type electrodes
- Enables code quality welds (X-ray clear) with proper welding procedures
- Operates with DC current electrode positive or AC
- Allows for stringer bead or weaving technique
- Maintain the shortest arc possible for the best mechanical properties
- Minimize porosity by striking the electrode ahead of the crater of the previously finished weld bead and quickly move back into the crater while reducing the arc length
