DESCRIPTION: 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, and produces excellent penetration with low spatter losses. Features include :Superb arc striking and restriking on low voltage AC machines. Low spatter levels and self-releasing slag. A stiff, fast freezing slag for all positions (especially vertical down), fillet welding.
