Description:

P 43 is a medium-coated rutile electrode intended for welding light to medium sections in mild steel.

The electrode operates with a very smooth arc and is suitable for all positions except vertical down. It

is easy to strike and re-strike and produces a self-detaching slag leaving a finely rippled bead

appearance. With its excellent bead surface and smooth transition with the base material P 43 is

ideal for butt and fillet welding of sheet metal work.
