SUREWELD SW-14

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.

Features

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.

Procedure

  • Hold a medium to short arc tilted 5° to 15° in the direction of travel with the electrode at an angle of 45° to each plate in fillet welds. Weave with slight oscillating motion, hesitating at the edges to insure proper fusion. Clean slag before depositing next bead.
