WIA Low Hydrogen Electrodes 16TC 3.2mm 15Kg Carton AUSTARC 16TC32C

Austarc® 16TC Hydrogen-Controlled Electrodes – 3.2mm, 15kg Carton (16TC32C)

The Austarc® 16TC 3.2mm is a premium low-hydrogen, 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 welds, even in sub-zero temperatures down to -40°C.
