WIA Low Hydrogen Electrodes 16TC 2.5mm 12.5Kg Carton AUSTARC 16TC25C

Austarc® 16TC Hydrogen-Controlled Electrodes – 2.5mm, 12.5kg Carton (16TC25C)

The Austarc® 16TC 2.5mm is a premium hydrogen-controlled, twin-coated welding electrode designed for all positional welding (except vertical down). Manufactured with a unique twin-coating extrusion process, it delivers exceptional arc stability, smooth running, and precise weld control. Ideal for carbon, carbon-manganese, and low alloy high-strength steels, it produces high-quality, notch-tough weld deposits even in sub-zero temperatures down to -40°C.
