PHiLARC - The No. 1 Choice of Welders

SMOOTHCORD-13

SMOOTHCORD-13

AWS Specification: AWS A5.1 E6013

JIS Specification : Z3211 D4313

Other Spcification: DIN 1913 E4332 

 

I. APPLICATIONS:

Welding of all types of mild (low carbon) steel such as:

  • Steel structure-trusses, portal frames, tubed framework

  • Sheet and plate metal structures and containers-plating, storage tanks, hoppers, silos, bins

  • General Steel fabrication & assembly job

  • Welding of jeep, auto bodies & vehicles

  • Welding of farm and agriculture equipments, fences, farm tools, etc.

  • Light steel frames - grills, ornamental and gate works, furniture

  • General workshop welding and maintenance

  • Compatible and suitable for welding steels to:

           ASTM (eg. A36)

           BS EN 10025 (eg. S275, S275 JR)               BS 4360 (eg. Grade 40, 43)              API Std. 5L (eg. Grade A, B, A25, X42, X46)     JIS G3106 (eg. SS41, SM41)

II. DESCRIPTIONS:

SMOOTHCORD- 13 is the few smoke welding electrodes. It has the following characteristics:

  • 25% less smoke

  • Easy slag removal

  • Easy to handle and manipulate

  • Strong and durable welding deposits

 

  • 25% less spatterings

  • Beautiful and shiny rippled  bead for nice finishing

  • Easy to ignite and instantaneous re-ignition

  • Affordable price

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.
