AS KESME

Due to the physical properties of the coating material, core wire has a higher melting rate than the coating material.

DETAILS

Therefore,3 to 5 mm crater formation occurs at the tip of the electrode

Particularly in cutting and piercing applications, this crater formation enables the operation of the electrode penetrating into the melting piece without short circuit.
Pieces up to a thickness of 10 mm can be easily cut with this electrode
For thicker pieces (10 mm), electrode should be moved up and down in the direction of material being cut to move away the melted material.
In piercing applications, electrode should be perpendicular to the work piece.
It is used for beveling, weld preparation of cracks and for gouging of armour steels, air hardenable steels, stainless steels, cast irons, hard metals, work hardenable and difficult to machine materials.
Metal removal speed depends on the electrode diameter, ampere selected and to the thickness of the piece.
It is recommended to work with a quality power source for best results.
