The flux-coating is of the extruded type and does not chip off. UTP 48 has a better than average tensile strength and corrosion resistance, easy starting qualities and good arc stability. Ideal for fabrication of structurals, sheet material, repairs of castings and build-up of missing sections. The coating is specially treated to give long shelf-life

• Excellent welding properties
• Good bead appearance
• Electrode intended for several works on manufacture and maintenance; manufacture of structures and tanks; recovery of cast aluminum; repair of cracks and pores; reconstruction of wasted sections; correction of casting defects; machining errors
