Description and Applications

HX-1 is a low fume type electrode for all position welding. Its weld ability is excellent in all position welding, particularly in vertical and overhead position.

Welding of ships, machinery, vehicles, and buildings that require mild steel welding.
 
Guideline in Usage
1.

Re-dry electrodes at 70120℃ for one hour before use.

2. Excessively high current and wide weaving will deteriorate the X-ray performance. Use optimum current and limit weaving to 2.5 times the diameter of electrode.
