Grade 12 · 2.5 mm
2.5 mm general-purpose electrode for thin sheet and light sections — runs at lower current, with less risk of burn-through.
Description
Grade 12 is the smallest diameter in the range. A 2.5 mm electrode runs at lower current and puts less heat into the work, which makes it the right choice for thin sheet and light sections — and for smaller welding machines that cannot comfortably drive a thicker rod. It is the everyday electrode for light fabrication across Ghana's workshops.
