Versatile/All Positional (Especially Vertical Up) Capabilities Reliable, Low Temperature Impact Toughness
Easy to Strike and Re-Strike
Smooth Performance on Low OCV AC Welding Machines
IDENTIFICATION PACKAGING DATA Coating - Light Grey Tip - Bronze Imprint - WIA 4916A
CLASSIFICATION - AS/NZS 4855-B - E49 16-A U H10 AWS A5.1: E7016 H8
DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION
Smooth running, basic low hydrogen electrode, developed for all positional (except vertical down) welding, using AC or DC power sources. It has exceptional arc stability and weldability and delivers high quality weld deposits with reliable notch toughness to - 40 ̊C. Austarc 16TC is manufactured using a unique twin coating extrusion process, which means all the arc stabilising elements are concentrated in the inner coating. This delivers significantly improved arc stability and control for all applications.

Terry HGreat price, the staff replied to both my enquiries about when i could pick up my new hood, very happy about the price too! the on-site guy was great answered a few questions i had. definitely returning for more when needed.
AngusI seriously LOVE these folks! As a Boilermaker who usually provides his own kit, Bilba's range, service and quick turnaround has been invaluable to me! Marissa ALWAYS keeps me informed about my order and I don't bother looking elsewhere as they ALWAYS look after me. Thanks heaps folks for your excellent service and product range... Look forward to continuing to purchase from you good folks way into the future. 😊
