All welcome. Let us now analyze such an important topic for the beginner in welding, and what is good rutile electrodes. I'll start with the fact that rutile electrode - the so-called welders these electrodes in speech, in fact, their so-called plaster of a metal rod. The structure of this part of the natural wash the titanium dioxide - a mineral rutile.
The most popular and widespread of rutile electrodes is brand OK-46, MR - 3C, ANO - 21, Monolith, and so on.
We begin to enumerate their advantages, especially for the novice welder.
First of foremost is that the welding electrodes rutile evolved gases during combustion of the electrode have a smaller the concentration of harmful substances, which is quite important, as the welding itself - it is quite harmful to the health process person.
Cooking can be both on the break and on postoyanke .If Properly selected current and arc length minimal spatter .Dovolno easily separated slag.
And, in my view, with rutile main advantage is their ease of electrodes not only when the ignition electrode and a new, as well as throughout the electrode burning. At any time, if the interrupted welding - Reduce the electrode, and it lights up again. That is possible to produce thin metal welding points with frequent margin.
Another big advantage of rutile electrodes is their simplicity to the surfaces of the base metal (of course it shall be clean and not rusty). It can be cooked on rust (well within reason), it is possible to cook the painted surface of a welded joint (true mother stink will not Cry) without fear of wet metal surfaces.
Summarizing the above, it can be concluded that with rutile electrodes it as Kalashnikov - by water, mud, etc. from any apparatus for spetsa and for the novice.
They are the most affordable and get the mass distribution in the welding of the house, in the garage, on the bride-price.
I cook myself, basically the electrodes and quite happy.
