DESCRIPTION
The AWS. E-60t3 isa general purpose mild steel elect+ode for use w_th AC or DC. tt produces a very stable.
easily handled arc thr0ugh0:Ut a wide amperage range: Th:e moderately penetrating and easily directed arc
providesexCeilent resuitsin ail positions fiat Wrticai 0roverhead) and is ideal for singIe pass horizontal
fiilet:welds_ as {he weld metal: solidifies quickly producing a closeIy ri ppled deposit w,th
good appearance.
Even though it is designed for production welding in mild steel fabrication, this rod is excellent for
mUlti-purpose use where So:un:d durable welds are required.
The arc fs easily Started. even at: low amperage settings foi" ,light gauge steel, yet is stable at the high
amperages needed for higher Welding speeds and for heavier se_tiOns::
Use with AC o_ DC [see recommended amperages)+ Hold a short arc, lust !ong enough to keep the electrode
from touching the molten metal, tn flat position single pass fitlets or butt welds may be made with or
without weaving: Weld from bottom up on vertical welding of heavy sect+ons. Welding down on light
material or fiI]ets produces excellent results. Use 5i32+mch or smaller efectrodesfo_ overhead work, making
rather stringer or weaving beads.
