Nihonweld N-6012 description: An all position general purposed Shielded Metal Arc Welding electrode with good fusion characteristics and penetration. Well suited to bridge gaps on poor fit-up jobs. Handles easily on light sheet metal as well as on heavy steel structures. Weld has smooth, well-rounded and even beads with closely rippled surface. The fillets are convex without undercutting. Its all-positional operability, combined with a fast freezing weld metal and a forceful arc makes it an ideal electrode for workshop and site conditions. Excellent deposition characteristics when welding both vertically-up and vertically-down. The slag comes off very easily and is in most cases self-releasing.
