An all positional electrode depositing carbon steel weld metal. The welds have good bond strength. Slag detachability is good.

Welds are nonmachinable. Preheating may be employed to reduce stresses and use low amperage to reduce distortion.

Suited for joining and repair welding of cast iron, filling small pits, cracks in castings, where machining of weld is not needed.

Welds may be peened lightly.
