Especially suitable for welding in sheets thinner then 5 mm, galvanized sheets and tubes, primer painted, painted and slightly rusty steels and in production of tanks and boilers, tube installations. Very easily operated in positional welding, including vertically-down. Good gap-bridging. Smooth arc, well suited for tack-welding due to its easy arc striking and re-striking properties. Possible to use equally well both with AC and DC. Welds are smooth, slightly concave and blending into base metal without undercutting. Slag is self-releasing.

Medium coated, cellulosic electrode, especially designed for welding of pipes and plates in all positions at low welding currents. Due to its high penetration, particularly suitable for root pass and fill passes in vertical down direction. Used in pipe-line construction, shipbuilding, storage vessels and assembly works. DCEN (-) is ideal in root passes and DCEP (+) is recommended for fill and cap passes in vertical down position.

Thick basic-covered electrode for depositing tough and wear resisting overlays on structural members, subjected to severe wear. It is particularly resistant to high metal-to-metal wear, moderate impact and abrasion. The weld metal has sufficient red hardness up to 600°C. It can be machined only by grinding. Suitable hardfacing applications where wear resistance at higher temperatures is a prime concern, as in hot cut offs, dies for pressure castings, rolls, crushers excavator parts, bucket edges and bucket teeth, drilling bits, coal planes, conveyor screws. Multi-layers deposits will be free of cracks, even without depositing intermediate buffer layers. Only in case of very crack sensitive base metals, a tough buffer layer, made with ESB 40 or EI 307B electrodes, is required. Preferred to use with DC, electrode in positive (+) pole and also possible to use with AC.

Electrode for joining and surfacing of pure copper and copper alloys and also surfacing of steels, cast steels, grey cast iron such as piston arms, sprockets, guides, turbine and centrifugal blades, ship screw propellers, motor collectors etc. For surfacing application, the initial runs should be welded at the lowest possible amperage. To obtain the typical mechanical properties, preheat the workpiece to 350°C and maintain this heat throughout the welding operation.

Electrode having a pure nickel core wire for welding cast iron without or with low preheating (max. 300°C). Suitable for welding cast iron with lamellar graphite, white and black heart malleable and nodular cast iron. Used also for repair welding of cracked cast iron parts or joining components made of steel, copper or nickel materials to cast irons. Weld metal is machinable. Provides easy arc striking and restriking, stable arc and smooth bead surface. Weld short beads, about 30 to 50 mm long. In order to reduce weld residual stresses, hammer-peen welds slightly before cooling. Preferably used with DCEP but possible to use also with AC.

Special coated electrode for welding pure aluminium. Weld metal has good color matching with base metal and high electrical conductivity. Hold the electrode perpendicularly to workpiece, with a short arc length, during welding. If the thickness is greater than 10 mm or in large workpieces, preheating shall be applied between 150°C to 250°C. Since slag residues are corrosive, they must be completely removed from the weld bead. Electrode serves well as consumable in oxyacetylene welding. The covering being hygroscopic, electrodes must be stored in an absolutely dry location, or redried if required.

Rutile coated electrode for joining dissimilar steels, depositing buffer layer before hardfacing and claddings on ferritic steels. The weld metal consists of austenitic Cr-Ni-Mn steel with possible small amounts of delta ferrite. The weld metal is highly crack resistant and therefore suited for joining difficult to weld steels and depositing stress relaxing buffer layers on crack sensitive base metal prior to hardfacing deposits. Weld metal work hardens by impact and pressure. Suitable for armour plates, high-manganese steels, rails, cross-overs, crane wheels, idlers, which are subjected to dynamically loading, pressure, impact and abrasion. It is non-scaling up to 850°C and highest operating temperature for dissimilar steel joints is 300°C. In the case of higher temperatures, use ENI 422 electrodes. Easy to use in positional welding and possible to use equally well both with AC and DC.

Basic coated electrode, designed to resist to atmospheric corrosion and to provide high charpy impact energy down to -40°C. Suitable for welding steel constructions like bridge, off-shore platforms, stadium, which are made of weathering steels and thick sections of them. Especially 2,50 mm and 3,25 mm diameter well suited for positional welding. Welds are of X-ray quality.

INCONEL Welding Electrode 182 is used for shielded-metal-arc welding of INCONEL alloys 600 and 601. The weld metal has excellent high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance and can meet stringent radiographic requirements. Dissimilar welds for which the electrode are used include INCONEL alloys and INCOLOY alloys joined to carbon steels, stainless steels, nickel and MONEL alloys, MONEL alloys joined to carbon steels; nickel joined to stainless steels; and stainless steels joined to carbon steels.

The electrodes provide excellent operability for groove and fillet welding in the down hand position and the smaller diameter electrodes are also suitable for all position welding.
