7014 3/16 Electrode

Weldcote Metals E7014 is an iron powder, rutile type electrode designed to operate at higher speeds, in all positions with greater deposition efficiency than Weldcote Metals 6012 or 6013 electrodes. This electrode provides a stable arc, flat smooth bead appearance and easy slag removability. 7014 is used for all position, single pass and multi-layer welding applications. AC or DC straight or reverses polarity may be used. 7014 is an all purpose electrode used wherever the welding efficiency of 6012 or 6013 is not acceptable. Typical application would include: ship structure, bridges, structural steel for buildings, sheet metal, ornamental iron, auto bodies and fenders, machine parts, storage tanks, etc. Use a light whipping or weaving motion for vertical up or overhead. Vertical down uses higher amperage and faster travel speed staying ahead of the puddle. Please note that procedures may vary with a change in position, base metals, filler metals, equipment and other changes.
