Oerlikon Citorex description: CITOREX is a rutile-basic coated MMA electrode which is particularly developed for welding root pass.
Suitable for fill and capping passes with X-ray quality for pipes, boilers and tanks. The welding current can be decreased to low values while maintaining a stable arc, good for gap-bridging. The excellent positional welding characteristics have established CITOREX as a first choice for welder training. Due to the low silicon content of the weld deposit, CITOREX is used to weld components for subsequent galvanising or enamelling. In order to obtain a finely-rippled weld bead, the use of FINCORD DB for capping passes is recommended. Impact strength down to -20C.
