SAE7
Extra low hydrogen - Moisture resistant steel electrode for unalloyed construction steels

  • Flexible flux coating allows bending of the electrode.
  • Extremely smooth - spatter and turbulence free arc transfer.
  • Coating is totally non-conductive.
  • Unusually good AC welding characteristics.
  • Easy re-strike.
