For mild and low alloy steels. Tartan B provides deep penetration deposits without slag interference. In maintenance or production welding, the characteristics of Tartan B enable the welder to produce high strength non-porous welds on pipe in tight corners and overhead. These results are possible even when welding over paint, rust and dirt. Can be run pass on pass over slag. Download PDF

Welds Galvanized steels without porosity
Recommended Settings
5AC or DCEP (+/- 50% of recommended settings)
Recommended Settings:
3/32” Diameter – 50 amps
1/8” Diameter – 80 amps
5/32″ Diameter – 100 amps
Best Practices
Hold electrode at a slight incline in the direction of travel.
For vertical or overhead welds lower amperage setting, weave and move fast enough to prevent weld puddle from dropping.
When welding on galvanized steel we recommend using Galv Coat, our premium zinc spray, for after weld coatings. (For more info see Chemical Aids in the Abrasives & Metal Working products section.)
