Stick electrodes ESAB OK 43.32

ESAB OK 43.32 stick electrode

Non-alloy and fine-grain steels

• Low spatter – self-detaching slag
• Excellent welding characteristics
• Root run weldability confirmed
• High-quality welds
• Good for welding thin sheet metal

 

A versatile, thick rutile-coated stick electrode with excellent welding properties. Quiet, stable arc. Suitable for all welding positions. Also easy to manage for inexperienced welders due to its simple handling.

Offers good gap bridging.

Easy striking and restriking, offers pleasant welding characteristics.

Can be welded with DC- polarity and with AC (welding transformer).

The electrodes can also be used for welding aesthetically pleasing cover passes on visible seams in tank construction.

The electrode is used from 1.6mm diameter for thin sheet metal and is also suitable for vertical-down welds up to 2.0mm diameter.

General: steels, thin sheet metal, pipe steels, quenched and tempered steels, boiler plate
