N-6012

Specification

AWS Specification: AWS A5.1 E6012
JIS Specification: D4313
Other Specification:

Description

N-6012 is an all position general purpose electrode with good fusion characteristics and penetration
Well suited to bridge gaps on poor fit-up jobs
Easy handling on light sheet metal as well as on heavy steel structures
Weld has smooth, well-rounded, and even beads with closely rippled surface
Fillets are convex without undercutting
Fast freezing weld metal witha a forceful arc
Excellent deposition characteristics
Easy slag removal and in most cases self-releasing
Ideal electrode for workshop and site conditions

Application

Mild steel fabrications
Steel windows
Iron grills and fences
Container steel
Welding of ungalvanized pipes
Steel structures for houses, chairs, tables, ladders and other light gauge mild steels

Remarks

Pay attention not to exceed the range of recommended currents

Welding with excessive current not only lowers X-ray soundness but also causes increase of spatter, under-cut, and insufficient slag covering

For ultimate performance, 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 may result in less penetration and overheating of the electrode

For Philippine market only
