Hobart Brothers’ 18AC Stick Electrode Offers Excellent Performance For AC Power Sources
TROY, Ohio. June 9, 2005 - To optimize welding with small 208/230V single-phase AC welders, Hobart Brothers offers its Hobart® 18AC Stick electrode . The 18AC performs well on low and medium carbon steel and can also be used with DC utility type welders. The Hobart 18AC is ideal for home, automotive, forestry, mining and fabrication applications.
Superior Performance
The Hobart 18AC features excellent restriking characteristics that reduce operator frustration caused by electrode sticking. Due to its stable arc and controllability, the Hobart 18AC is ideal for beginning welders and home hobbyists. In addition, the 18AC features self-removing slag, allowing for more arc time and reducing post-weld clean-up. The 18AC provides good wetting action, which prevents cold lap, and its reliable arc starts create high quality weld beads that are free of porosity. This all-position electrode is well suited for single- and multi-pass welding and excellent for skip or tack welds and/or welding through rust.
