Sureweld SW-612 is an E6012 all-position rutile electrode that is suitable for mild steel applications including poor fit-up welding.
Sureweld SW-612 is a multi-purpose rutile electrode that retains the advantage of poor fit-up welding and convex bead along with the smooth arc of iron powder. It also takes high amperage of production welding. Weld deposit has excellent mechanical properties. SW-612 can be used on all mild steels. Typical applications include truck bodies, trailers, tanks, farm machinery and auto parts.
