Zváracia tyč ESAB Rutil elektróda 2,5 mm x 350 mm, 5,5 kg

ESAB rutile-coated welding electrodes, 2.5 mm diameter and 350 mm length, supplied in a 5.5 kg pack, are consumables for manual metal arc (MMA) welding. These stick electrodes feature a rutile flux composition designed for general-purpose welding of mild and low-alloy steels. The product is intended for use in maintenance, fabrication and repair tasks in workshops and construction environments where easy arc striking and good bead appearance are required.

Advantages

Rutile-coated electrodes provide smooth arc initiation and stable arc characteristics, which simplify manual welding for operators at different skill levels. The flux formulation promotes moderate slag flow and easy slag removal, resulting in cleaner weld beads and less post-weld cleaning. These electrodes are compatible with common direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) MMA welding power sources and offer reliable performance on plain carbon and low-alloy steels.

Key specifications

How to use

Select appropriate current and polarity settings for the 2.5 mm electrode and the base metal thickness, clamp the electrode holder securely, and strike an arc using standard MMA techniques. Maintain a steady travel speed and consistent arc length to achieve a uniform bead. After welding, allow the weld to cool and chip away the slag to inspect bead quality; re-weld or grind as necessary for final fit-up or finish.

Recommendations

Store electrodes in a dry environment and protect from moisture to preserve coating integrity and prevent hydrogen pick-up. For critical or thick-section work, preheat and follow suitable interpass temperature guidelines for the specific steel grade. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and adhere to safety standards for welding operations.
