14-inch ESt stick electrode

This 14-inch stick electrode carries AWS ESt classification and is intended for welding cast iron to cast iron. It measures 1/8 inch in diameter and is supplied in a 5 lb package.

Suitable welding positions

The electrode is rated for flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-down and vertical-up positions using DCEP current. It is not intended for buyers who need a different AWS classification or a non-cast-iron base material.

62 ksi tensile strength

Minimum required tensile strength and as-welded tensile strength are both listed at 62 ksi, with yield strength at 50 ksi. These figures determine whether the electrode meets the mechanical requirements of the joint.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 14-inch 1/8-inch diameter rods or a different size for cast iron repairs?

These 14-inch rods with 1/8-inch diameter are made for cast-iron-to-cast-iron joints using DCEP current in flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-down and vertical-up positions.

What does the 62 ksi tensile strength mean when I am actually welding?

The weld deposit must reach at least 62 ksi tensile strength as-welded, matching the 62 ksi minimum required by the AWS ESt classification for cast iron electrodes.

How does the AWS ESt classification limit the welding current and positions I can use?

AWS ESt designates DCEP polarity and qualifies the electrode for flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-down and vertical-up welding on cast iron.
