| Characteristics | CR-12 is a high titania type electrode. Its weld metal has a good bead appearance with shallow penetration. It is suitable for welding of steel sheets and general structures.  | 
				
| Notes on usage | (1) Pay attention not to exceed the range of proper currents. Welding with excessive current not only lowers X-ray soundness, but also causes increase of spatter, undercut and insufficient slag covering. (2) Dry the electrodes at 70~100℃ for 30~60 minutes before use. Excessive moisture absorption lowers usability and may result in some porosities.  |
