titania potassium type coating. It is able to provide excellent welding performance

and satisfactory weld can be obtained in all position welding. It is widely used in

ordinary tensile strength mild steel structures especially suitable for intermittent

welding to sheet steel and small work pieces as well as cosmetic welding with smooth and shiny appearance.

Vertical-down Welding Rod for Mild Steel

TK-E425G (ASW E6010) is a high cellulose sodium type welding rods. It shows a

very good performance in welding of all positions, vertical down and overhead. The

rod forms on double sides by one side welding. Its is suitable for welding root passes,

hot passes, filler and cover passes as well as for capping of general pipes and similar

structures. Keeping the rods in dry condition and the rods do not need to re-brake before welding. In welding small

current is recommended and swaying breadth should be less than 2.5 times of diameter of the steel core of rod.
