Welding electrode rods stamped with their AWS classification

Quality

Classification is the specification

Every product ships against a published welding-consumable classification. The weld-metal analysis, mechanical property ranges, welding parameters and re-dry procedures on each product page are the specifications it is made and tested to.

Published specifications

Chemistry and mechanical property ranges are published per product — compare them directly against your WPS requirements before you enquire.

Hydrogen control

The low-hydrogen range carries H2-class designations with published re-dry procedures — temperature and time — on every product page.

Certifications

Certification documents and test certificates are available on request with supply.
