DETAILS
Weld metal has a high resistance to cracking in multipass applications. The slag is easy to remove and it gives high quality, smooth weld beads.
Features
- It is easy to strike and re-strike and thus an ideal electrode for tacking. It is an easy to use electrode. It has about 100% metal recovery due to high iron powder content in its coating.
Typical Applications
- AS R-116 is a general purpose electrode for welding mild steels.
- Bridging over fairly large gaps that can occur in site welding where preheating is not possible, galvanized plates, rusty or dirty surfaces, ordinary ship’s plate of A- and D- quality, automotive bodies and general structural steels are among its application areas.
