Weldcote Metals Inc., a division of Zika Group, has introduced WCM low-manganese SMAW electrodes. The patented line has a flux composition that supplies weld metal with lower manganese content, decreasing manganese vapor emissions by as much as 60 percent in comparison to standard electrodes, the company says.
The electrodes are available in three AWS classifications. E-6011 is an all-position, AC/DC electrode for deep weld penetration for root passes for welding pipes and general structural welding. E-6013 is an all-position, AC/DC electrode typically used for welding cleaner steel. E-7018 H4R is a low-hydrogen, humidity-resistant, usually DC, all-position electrode used for used for many metals, including structural. All offer a stable and smooth arc, easy slag detachability, and excellent weld bead appearance, the manufacturer reports.
