The rod is suitable for flat-position welding, and horizontal fillets. Like any other low-HY rod, it works best when free of moisture. Looks like you have enough to last awhile. Guido.

Here are what the relevant final numbers in the electrodes’ designations mean: XXX4---Iron powder titania XXX5---Low hydrogen sodium XXX6---Low hydrogen potassium XXX8---Iron powder low hydrogen This is taken directly from Lincoln Electric’s Stick Electrode Product Catalog.

Some guys down in Texas were building the base for a very large oil tank. They were running 1/4-inch jet rod. At first they were having trouble, then someone suggested they run the large 7024 on AC, cleared up all their problems. [Reply]  [No Email]

On DC Jet rod runs a little better on straight polarity but most welders don't bother changing polarity cause most everything else runs DC+. [Reply]  [No Email]
