AUSTARC 16TC
SUMMARY
Basic/Twin Coated (TC) Manual Arc Electrode
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.
