Steelarc® 80LV Red
Premium
High Strength Electrode for Welding Low Carbon Steel AC
or DC Straight or Reverse Polarity General
Characteristics Outstanding
mild steel electrode that features superior welding capabilities along with tensile
strength equaling that of
low hydrogen electrodes. Can be used with low voltage machines resulting in outstanding
weld characteristics. Exceptional
performance in all positions; excellent strike and restrike. Slag usually self
releases. Welds on thin sheets
without burn through. Typical
Applications This
is an ideal electrode for short, intermittent or tack welds. Used to weld machine
parts, pipe, plates, angle and sheet
iron in all positions. For fabrication of thin, medium and heavy sections of mild
steels. Ideal for repair of farm machinery,
auto parts, trailers, tanks, iron work, and general maintenance repair work.

25% Procedures
As much foreign material as is practical
should be removed from the weld area. Deep penetration can be
accomplished by using DC reverse polarity
(electrode +). Limited penetration and a flatter bead will result from
using DC straight polarity (electrode
–). Arc blow can be prevented by using AC. Maintain medium arc length with
either stringer
or weave beads. Slag can be easily removed with a light chipping hammer.
