Description
Type of coating – rutile-cellulosic
An electrode unique in its class, possessing excellent welding-technology characteristics, designed for welding structures made of low-carbon and low-alloy steels with a yield strength of up to 380 MPa in all spatial positions using direct current with reverse polarity and alternating current. The electrode is relatively insensitive to rust and other surface contaminants, allows for easy slag removal, and forms a smooth surface of the weld bead with a gradual transition to the base metal. Due to the ease of both initial and repeated ignitions, the electrode is indispensable for welding short seams, root passes, tack welds, and welding with periodic arc interruptions. Unlike most rutile electrodes, the OК 46.00 allows for welding in the "vertical down" position in combination with significantly lower threshold values of the minimum current at which the arc burns stably, enabling the welding of thin-walled products and the use of this electrode for welding parts with galvanic coatings. The low open circuit voltage and stable arc burning at extremely low currents allow these electrodes to be used for welding from household sources.
