    This document provides information on an electrode called RC 8 that is versatile for all positional welding, especially advantageous for vertical down welding. It has a rutile flux coating designed to produce a fluid but quick freezing slag. The electrode welds with a smooth arc and minimal spatter, producing smooth, bright welds. It is suitable for welding various steel specifications up to 15mm thick with ultimate tensile strength up to 500N/mm2, especially for vertical down fillet welding.

    The design emphasis of the flux is engineered to produce a fluid but quick
    freezing slag so facilitating all positional welding including vertical down. The
    PRODUCT balanced rutile, cellulosic flux containing both alloying and deoxidizing elements
    DESCRIPTION is extruded on to a mild steel wire with a blend of silicates that ensures coating
    strength and stability.
    The electrode welds with a smooth stable arc on DC but it’s also well suited for
    WELDING AC welding. Spatter is minimal. Weld seams are smooth, bright and evenly
    FEATURES rippled. Initial arc strike and re-strike are instant. For flat and vertical down
    OF THE welding use amperages towards the top end and for vertical up and overhead
    ELECTRODE towards the bottom of range. Slag detachability is excellent and metal recovery
    is some 98% with respect to weight of core wire.
    All positional welding but used to particular advantage for vertical down fillet
    APPLICATIONS welding of the following and related steel specifications:
    AND Mild and medium carbon-manganese steels up to 15 mm thick with a UTS of
    MATERIALS 500 N/mm2 max. Typical grades : BS 1449 plate and sheet, BS 4360 grades
