• Ideal for thin sheets
• Flexible moisture-resistant coating
• Easy striking and re-striking (OCV = 45 V); ideal for tack welds
• Very low spatter

Applications: Recommended for steel furniture, thin sheet metal, farm machinery, body work, railings, stairs, gates.

• Tensile strength: 80 000 psi (550 MPa)
• Yield strength: 64 000 psi (440 MPa)
• Elongation: 24 - 28%
• Impact (Charpy V): 60 J at 0ºC

Directions for use:

Remove any trace of oil, grease and dirt from the surface.  Maintain a short arc. Remove slag between each pass.  Weld galvanized steel using straight polarity (DC-) or an AC power supply.
