Messer AC/DC 1/8" Welding Electrode

Messer AC/DC 1/8" Welding Electrode, (Bulk)

The 80TAC18 Messer AC/DC 1/8" Welding Electrode is a versatile maintenance and repair rod designed to perform reliably on both AC and DC welding machines—even those with low open circuit voltage. Featuring a special protective coating, this electrode shields the weld deposit from adverse conditions commonly encountered in field repairs. With low spatter and easy slag removal, it delivers clean welds while operating at lower amperage to help control distortion on thin materials.
