User-Friendly and Reliable OperationWith easy arc striking and simple slag removal, LoTherme-802 significantly reduces operator fatigue and optimizes workflow. Their robust design performs well even in challenging conditions thanks to the high melting point and durable coating. Packaged in secure 5 kg and 10 kg boxes, these electrodes maintain their integrity when stored dry, delivering consistent results throughout their shelf life.
FAQ's of LoTherme-802 Cutting Gouging Piercing Welding Rod:
Q: How should LoTherme-802 welding rods be stored for optimal performance?
A: These rods should be kept in dry conditions to prevent moisture absorption. If moisture is detected, re-dry the rods at 150C-200C for one hour before use to maintain arc quality and welding efficiency.
Q: What current types and polarity are recommended for LoTherme-802 electrodes?
A: LoTherme-802 rods are compatible with both AC and DC currents. However, DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive) polarity is preferred for optimal cutting and gouging performance, though they can be used with AC as needed.
Q: When is it best to use LoTherme-802 rods during welding projects?
A: Use LoTherme-802 for operations requiring reliable cutting, piercing, gouging, or slotting of metals, especially when a stable, forceful arc and high deposition rates are crucial. Their exceptional performance is valuable both for fabrication and repair workloads.
Q: What sizes and packaging options are available for LoTherme-802 welding rods?
A: These welding rods are offered in diameters of 3.15 mm, 4.00 mm, and 5.00 mm, packed in secure 5 kg and 10 kg boxes to suit various project scales and storage needs.
Q: Where can LoTherme-802 electrodes be sourced in India?
A: LoTherme-802 rods are available through authorized distributors, exporters, manufacturers, and suppliers across India. Check with local welding supply stores or reach out to the manufacturer for export or bulk requirements.
Q: What benefits does the rutile-type, thick coating provide?
A: The thick rutile-based coating enhances arc stability, facilitates easy arc striking, produces a forceful arc ideal for cutting and gouging, and ensures easy slag removal after welding, streamlining workflow for operators.
Q: How does the composition of LoTherme-802 electrodes support welding processes?
A: Composed of iron, manganese, and special deoxidizers, LoTherme-802 rods promote cleaner welds with reduced porosity and reliable material transfer, particularly beneficial in demanding cutting and piercing applications.
