Oerlikon Citorex Stick Electrodes

Oerlikon Citorex Stick Electrodes for non-alloyed and low-alloyed steels

• Slag easy to remove
• Good root weldability
• No tendency to stick
• Rutile-basic coated
• Suitable for tacking
• Good gap bridging
• Current can be significantly reduced

 

Oerlikon Citorex rutile-basic coated stick electrodes for various applications with excellent welding properties. Suitable for operating temperatures from -10 °C to 350 °C. Especially suitable for X-ray-proof welding of root, fill and cap passes in boiler, pipeline and tank construction. Very good control in forced positions. Quiet and stable arc. Can also be mastered by inexperienced welders, its ease of use is particularly valued in welder training. Can be welded with low current.

The Citorex stick electrode is particularly well suited for subsequent galvanizing or enamelling due to its low Si content. For a finer-scaled weld seam appearance, FINCORD can be used as a cap layer.  

Maximum sheet thickness 16 mm, for fillet welds maximum sheet thickness 30 mm, a-dimension maximum 10 mm.

General: Structural steel, fine-grain structural steel, shipbuilding steel, pressure vessel steel, pipe steel, cast steel, reinforcing steel
