Murex All Positional Welding Electrodes

One of the most versatile electrodes available, suitable for Vertical, Overhead and Downhand welding. Available in 2.5, 3.2, 4.0, 5.0 and 6mm.

Vodex 6013

High quality rutile coated, all positional rods. Applications: for steel plate and strip including structural steels and pipe work, especially under site conditions.
N.B. suitable for AC (50V minimum open circuit) and DC plus/minus.

Overcord Z E6013 Rutile Electrode

Oerlikon Overcord Z is a new E6013 rutile MMA electrode, it is designed for all positional welding including vertical up and down (it replaces Supercord). Overcord Z is manufactured with a rutile/cellulosic flux coating, which gives a fast freezing slag to enable vertical down welding. Overcord Z offers easy striking with improved stable operating characteristics resulting in excellent weld bead shape and appearance.

2% Thoriated Red Tungsten Electrodes

Most commonly used tungsten electrode. Suitable for both AC and DC welding on carbon, stainless steels, nickel, copper and titanium alloys. Preferred for their longevity and ease of use.

Kennedy 2.4mm 2% Thoriated Red Tungsten Electrodes

2% thoriated tungsten electrodes (AWS classification EWTh-2) contain a minimum of 97.30% tungsten and 1.70 to 2.20% thorium. They are the most commonly used electrodes today and are preferred for their longevity and ease of use. Thorium increases the electron emission qualities of the electrode, which improves arc starts and allows for a higher current carrying capacity. This electrode operates far below its melting temperature, which results in a considerably lower rate of consumption and eliminates arc wandering for greater stability. It also features a lower level of weld contamination than other electrodes. Unlike pure tungsten, these electrodes are only for specialty type AC welding (thin gauge aluminum or materials less than .060-in.), but they are exceptional for DC electrode negative or straight polarity on carbon and stainless steel, nickel and titanium applications.
During manufacturing, thorium is evenly dispersed throughout the electrode. This evenness allows the electrode to maintain a sharpened edge, the ideal electrode shape for welding thin steel. Sharpening the electrode point, however, should be done with great care. Thorium is radioactive; therefore, you must always follow manufactures warnings, instructions and the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for its use.

0.8% Zirconiated White Tungsten Electrodes

Ideal for high precision, exceptional quality AC welding on aluminium alloys as it retains a balled tip and has a high resistance to contamination. The current carrying capability is equal or greater than that of thoriated tungsten. Non-radioactive. Not suitable for DC welding.

Kennedy 1.6mm 0.8% Zirconiated White Tungsten Electrodes

Zirconiated tungsten electrodes (AWS classification EWZr-1) contain a minimum of 99.10% tungsten and .15 to .40% zirconium. A zirconium oxide (zirconia) alloyed tungsten electrode is
preferred for AC welding when the highest quality work is necessary and where even the smallest amounts of weld pool contamination cannot be tolerated. This is accomplished because the zirconium alloyed tungsten produces an extremely stable arc which resists tungsten spitting in the arc. The current carrying capability is equal to or slightly greater than an equal sized cerium, lanthana or thorium alloyed
electrode. Zirconium electrodes are typically used only for
AC welding with a balled end. Not to be used for DC welding.

Stainless Steel Welding Rods

All rods 1m long. (All weights approximate.)

Saffire 18/8/3 Mo - 316L AWS A/SFA 5-9-93. ER316L. EN12072. W19123L.

Low carbon austenitic filler rod for welding steels of similar composition (19% Cr, 12% Ni, 3% Mo). Use with argon shielding gas or argon/5% hydrogen.

Stainless Steel Filler Rods - 316LSi

Corrosion resistant, chromium-nickel-molybdenum rods for welding of austenitic stainless alloys. The alloy has very good resistance against corrosion in acid and chlorinated environments and also a low carbon content which makes it particularly recommended where there is a risk of intergranular corrosion.
Rod length: 1 metre
Pack weight: 5kg.
