ELECTRODES LOW HYDROGEN
AUSTARC 16TC
Smooth running, hydrogen controlled, all positional electrode. Great
reputation for vertical up and horizontal operation. The original low
hydrogen electrode with twin coating for even greater arc stability.
Low temperature impact toughness and ideal for welding carbon,
carbon-manganese and low alloy high strength steels. Particularly
suitable for structural applications where notch toughness to -40oC
is required.

AUSTARC 18TC
Austarc 18TC is an iron powder hodrogen controlled electrode used
primarily on C-Mn and low alloy structural steels. The unique twin-coat
design for 18 type low hydrogen electrode offers excellent AC arc stability
and superb DC+ arc transfer, excellent re-strike, reduced spatter level and
extraordinary ease of use for out-of-position welding. Typical applications
include oil and gas, pipe welding, structural steel construction, off-shore
where Ni-alloying is prohibited, mining equipment, heavy girders and
earth moving plant repair and maintenance.

AUSTARC 18TT
Versatile E4818/E7018-1 type electrode offering excellent DC
performance in all positions except vertical down.
An ideal choice for root, fill and capping passes in difficult positional
pipework. Other major applications include all positional welding of
unfired pressure vessels, offshore platforms, hydroelectric penstocks
and general structural members.

AUSTARC 77
The Austarc is a smooth running basic type of low hydrogen iron powder
electrode used for all positional welding except vertical down. The arc
is very quiet with little spatter and the welds are exceptionally smooth
with excellent wash in at the toes of the weld, thus giving minimum
undercut. This electrode is used where the highest restrained work
pieces are fabricated for mining equipment, pressure vessels, heavy
girders, earth moving plant, repair and maintenance etc. For the highest
weld quality with low hydrogen levels, Austarc 77 electrodes should be
baked at 400°C for one hour to obtain
