Produces a weld deposit chemistry similar to EM12K solid wire electrodes
Higher deposition rates than solid wire when run at the same current level
Exhibits a broader and shallower bead profile than when using solid wire, reducing the tendency for burn through
Capable of running directly over root passes with proper procedure - eliminating requirement for a hot pass
Easy slag removal - reduces post weld cleanup time
Applications
Select EM12KS is ideal for those applications involving the welding of structural carbon steels such as A36, A285, A515, and A516
It may be used with neutral or active fluxes and may be substituted anywhere a solid wire, EM12K electrode is used
Caution
Protect yourself and others read the safety data sheet prior to using this product.
