AUSTARC 12P SUMMARY General Purpose Rutile Type Electrode Versatile/All Positional Capabilities Including Vertical Down Smooth Performance on Low OCV AC Welding Machines IDENTIFICATION Coating - Brown Tip - Red Imprint - WIA 4313A CLASSIFICATION AS/NZS 4855-B - E43 13 A AWS A5.1: E6013 DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION Austarc 12P is a smooth running, rutile type electrode for all positional welding of mild steel. It is characterised by a moderately forceful and extremely stable arc. Superb arc starting and restriking on low voltage AC welding machines. A stiff fast freezing slag for all positional (especially vertical down) fillet welding capabilities. Typical applications include, the all positional welding of galvanised gates/fences, steel furniture, trailers and wrought iron.
