N-1300 WHITE

Specification

AWS Specification: AWS A5.1 E6013
JIS Specification: D4313
Other Specification: N/A

Description

N-1300 WHITE / RED is the most versatile general purpose rutile coated welding electrode for welding in all positions including vertical down
Easy initial arc strike ignition and "cold" re-striking (re-ignition) properties
Easy tack welding or point welding
Ultra smooth, quite, and stable arc
Reduced smoke and fumes during welding
Self-removing slag, which reduces cleaning and slag removing time
Beautiful and finely rippled bead for nice finishing and appearance
Can perform "touch type" or "contact" welding

Application

Steel structure, such as trusses, portal frames, tubed framework
Sheet and plate metal structures and containers (i.e. plating, storage tanks, hoppers, silos, bins)
Pipes for water, gas, and fluid transmission
Light steel frames (i.e. grills, ornamental and gate works, furniture)
General workshop and welding maintenance

Remarks

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 porosity

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