All-State
Monoweld® Electrode
for Mild and Low Alloy Steels AC
or DC Reverse (Electrode + ) or Straight (Electrode –) Polarity All Position
General Characteristics
An electrode for both the beginner
and experienced welder. The special coating makes this electrode unique in that
it is
almost impossible to “stick” the electrode to the work; yet strong,
smooth welds are produced with very little spatter.
This is an electrode the experienced welder can use when he requires a high speed
rod that will produce X-ray
quality welds and keep heat distortion to a minimum. Typical
Applications Maintenance
and production welding of mild and low alloy steels. All-State Monoweld®
can be used with all types
of AC or DC machines in fabricating or repairing sheet metal, plates, beams, angles,
channels and other structures.
Since it produces smooth welds with little or no spatter, All-State Monoweld®
is ideal for welding ornamental
iron, railings, furniture and other applications that are to be painted after
welding. Qualities
Tensile strength
—up to 72,000 psi (50.63 kgs/mm2)
Yield strength
—up to 62,000 psi (43.60 kgs/mm2)
Elongation in 2"
—22 to 26%
Procedures Clean
weld area. Use a short arc with electrode tilted about 15 degrees in the direction
of travel. Travel slightly faster
than with regular mild steel electrodes. Stringer beads are usually used but in
cases involving poor fit-up, weave
beads are suggested to permit faster welding without burn through. Slag is easily
removed with only light chipping
or wire brushing.
