Oerlikon Fincord description: FINCORD is a thick rutile coated multi-purpose MMA electrode with outstanding welding characteristics. Exceptionally easy operability makes it suitable for use by lower skilled welders. Easy striking and restriking and used for touch-welding, the arc is stable with very low spatter and the slag is generally self-releasing. The weld beads are finely-rippled and clean, blending into the base plate without undercut, Increased current-carrying capacity of the larger diameters >3.2mm. Suitable for use with mains transformers. For X-ray quality welds in combination with MAG filler layers, Fincord DB is recommended. In horizontal fillet welds, FINCORD S produces an excellent weld bead shape.
