PHiLARC - The No. 1 Choice of Welders

PA-1200

AWS specification: AWS A5.1 E6012

JIS Specification : D4313

Other Specification: NONE

 

I. APPLICATIOINS:

Welding of cars, vehicles, machines and general light structural steel.

II. DESCRIPTIONS:

PA-1200 is a high titania type electrode. Its weld metal has a good bead appearance with shallow penetration. It is suitable for welding of steel sheets and general structures.

III. NOTES ON USAGE:

  • Pay attention not to exceed the range of proper currents. Welding with excessive current not only lowers X-ray soundness, but also causes increase of spatter, under-cut and insufficient slag covering.

  • Dry the electrodes at 70-100 degrees C for 30-60 minutes before use. Excessive moisture absorption lowers usability and may result in some porosities.

  • Excessive drying before use causes less in penetration and overheating of the electrode.
