Vitemax is a premium quality rutile electrode for use in all positions including vertical downwards, The electrode has a smooth, quiet arc action, low spatter loss with good striking and restrike characteristics and excellent slag detachability, In most cases, the slag is self-lifting, The electrode welds relatively cold which makes it ideally suited for bridging large gaps, i.e. where poor fit-up occurs and for tacking, This versatile electrode, which has a rapid burn-off rate, produces smooth welds in all positions, The weld metal deposited compiles with radiographic quality to AWS A5.1 grade 1

Applications

Vitemax is recommended for welding a wide variety of carbonmaganese steels having a carbon equivalent below 0,28% , It can also be used successfully in applications with higher carbon equivalents, provided the correct degree of preheat is used,
Suitable for use with AC or DC current
