Sureweld SW-14 is an all-position electrode designed for use with AC. It produces an easily controlled, forceful arc with deep penetration and a high quality weld metal.
Sureweld SW-14 is an all-position cellulosic electrode designed for AC. It produces an easily controlled forceful arc with deep penetration and a high quality weld metal which will pass specification requirements for radiography. SW-14 is used primarily for welding mild steels such as ASTM A-36, A-283, A-284, A-285, A-515, A-516 and ABS Hull and Boiler Steel. Typical applications include welding of buildings, piping, shipbuilding, pressure vessels and tanks.
