CB 201 Premium General Purpose Electrode for Welding Low Carbon Steels in any position, AC or DC either polarity GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: This premium electrode is designed to operate on all welding machines, even small AC type transformers when the open circuit voltage is very low. The specially formulated coating protects the deposit from adverse conditions normally encountered in maintenance welding. Distortion when welding thin sheet metal is controlled by the low amperage requirement of this electrode. Spatter is kept to a minimum and slag is almost self releasing. An ideal electrode for field repair work and out of position welding. APPLICATIONS: Use for fabrication of thin, medium, heavy and dissimilar gauge mild steel. Machine parts, beams, pipes, plates, sheets and angle iron can be welded in all positions. use for filling holes and build up of worn and over-machined surfaces. The outstanding restart characteristics of this electrode allow it to be used on applications requiring short, intermittent or spot welds TECHNICAL DATA: Tensile Strength as welded......up to 80,000 psi, Yield Strength......up to 68,000 psi. Elongation %......Aprox 24%
