Austarc 13S is a popular blue and white striped mild steel general purpose electrode for welding in down hand and vertical up positions. It has a soft and stable arc and produces flat, uniform fillet welds with ease and a self-peeling slag action. Easy to use for less experienced operators.


Typical Applications
Typical applications include structural welding of sheet and plate steel (galvanised or otherwise) and tubular sections, including trailers, duct work, hoppers and storage tanks.
