Common Electrode Types
TOKO E6013 electrodes are general-purpose, all-position electrodes suitable for both AC and DC welding. They produce medium penetration with superior weld bead appearance and easy slag removal.
- Excellent Arc Stability: Smooth arc with minimal spatter
- Easy Slag Removal: Self-lifting slag for clean welds
- All Position Welding: Suitable for flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions
- AC/DC Compatibility: Works with both AC and DC power sources
Other common electrodes in our range include:
- E6010/E6011: Deep penetration electrodes for dirty, rusted, or painted metals.
- E7018/7016: Low hydrogen electrode for high-quality, x-ray welds.
TOKO E7018 Low Hydrogen Electrodes
TOKO E7018 electrodes are low hydrogen, iron powder electrodes designed for welding medium carbon and low alloy steels. They produce x-ray quality welds with excellent mechanical properties.
- Low Hydrogen Content: Reduces risk of hydrogen-induced cracking
- Excellent Impact Toughness: Maintains ductility at low temperatures
- Smooth Arc Characteristics: Minimal spatter with easy slag removal
- High Deposition Efficiency: Iron powder coating increases deposition rates
Applications: Pressure vessels, structural steel, shipbuilding, pipelines, and critical fabrication.
TOKO Stainless Steel Electrode E309L-16
TOKO E309L-16 electrodes are designed for welding dissimilar metals and joining stainless steel to mild steel. The "L" designation indicates low carbon content for maximum corrosion resistance.
- Dissimilar Metal Welding: Ideal for joining stainless to carbon steel
- Low Carbon Content: Reduces carbide precipitation
- All Position Capability: Suitable for welding in all positions
- Easy Arc Starting: Smooth, stable arc
Other stainless options: E308L, E316L, E312L for high alloy applications.
- Typical Applications: Overlay welding, joining dissimilar stainless grades, and repair of castings.
TOKO Auto Welding Flux
TOKO Auto Welding Flux is specifically formulated for submerged arc welding (SAW) applications. It provides stable arc characteristics, excellent bead appearance, and easy slag removal.
- High Deposition Rates: Increases productivity in automated welding
- Excellent Weld Bead Profile: Smooth, uniform weld appearance
- Easy Slag Removal: Self-detaching slag reduces cleanup
- Consistent Performance: Batch-to-batch uniformity
