Weldwell PH16TC Electrode

The Weldwell PH16TC is a smooth running, basic flux low hydrogen electrode, developed for all-positional (except vertical down) welding, using AC or DC power sources. The electrode gives exceptional stability and weldability for its class and produces high quality weld deposits with reliable notch toughness to -40°C. The PH16TC is manufactured using a unique twin coating extrusion process, which produces electrodes with two concentric flux coatings. Arc stabilising elements are concentrated in the inner coating of the electrode for significantly improved arc stability on low open circuit AC welding machines.

The PH16TC is the ideal low hydrogen electrode for welding unalloyed and low alloy medium strength steels used in a multitude of critical and non-critical applications. This electrode is particularly suitable for welding heavy wall joints subject to high degrees of restraint and for structural applications where notch toughness down to -40°C is a prerequisite.

PH16TC is often used in maintenance situations as a buffer or build-up layer on agricultural and earth moving equipment prior to hard surfacing.
