Description:

A general purpose, copper coated, low carbon steel rod that is widely used on mild steel. It offers good ductility and machinability. Conforms to AWS A5.2, R45.

Typical Application:

Used for welding low carbon steel, automotive repair and ornamental art.

Procedure:

• Use a neutral flame; however, a very slight excess of acetylene assures the absence of an oxidizing flame that adversely influences weld quality.
• Flux is not needed, but "puddling of the molten weld metal will bring any scale or impurities to the surface.
