Specification :

RD-460 is A VERSATILE RUTILE MEDIUM CELLULOSE-PLUS CONTENT MILD STEEL ELECTRODE FOR ALL POSITIONAL WELDING BUT PARTICULARLY ADVANTAGEOUS FOR FILLET WELDING. This electrode welds with a smooth stable arc on both AC and DC. Spatter is minimal. Weld seams are smooth, bright and evenly rippled. Initial arc strike and re-strike are instant. For flat and vertical down welding use amperages towards the top end and for vertical up and overhead towards the bottom of range.

APPLICATIONS
All positional welding but used to particular advantage for fillet welding of the following and related steel specifications:
Mild and medium carbon-manganese steels up to 15mm thick with a UTS of 500N/ mm² max. Typical grades : BS 1449 plate and sheet, BS 4360 grades 43A and 43C, Lloyds A & D ship steel BS 4360 grade 50B Lloyds grades AH and DH, BS 3059 and BS 3601 grade 320-410 API 5L A-B and X42.
