All-position, mild steel electrode for welding light to medium-gauge steel. Excellent operating characteristics when using small diameter electrodes to weld thin sheet metal using lower open-circuit AC voltage. One of the easiest electrodes to use because of its easy slag control in vertical down welding, its wide operating range and restrike capabilities. This electrode has a soft, steady and quiet arc that produces very little smoke or spatter. Common uses include tack welding on thin sheet metal such as galvanized sheets, automobile bodies, metal furniture, window frames, fences, storage tanks, farm equipment and iron grills
