Stick Electrodes
Murex 6011CE6011ACMurex® 6011C features a smooth arc that wets and spreads readily with minimum spatter. Excellent for galvanized steel and for rusty or oily steel in maintenance and repair work. Delivers a minimum 60,000 psi (410 MPa) tensile strength.
Murex 6013DE6013ACExcellent choice for general purpose welding. Murex® 6013D features a smooth, steady arc with either AC or DC, even on low open circuit voltage welders. Minimal operator skill is required. Delivers a minimum 60,000 psi (410 MPa) tensile strength.
Murex 7014E7014ACFor high-speed all-position welding. Great choice when low penetration is desired, such as for use on sheet metal. Also great for poor fit-up joints. Murex® 7014 has enhanced arc stability on low open circuit voltage welders
Murex 7018 MRE7018 H4ACA low hydrogen stick electrode, designed to pass the most severe x-ray requirements in all positions. Murex® 7018 MR features a soft and quiet arc with exceptionally low spatter.
Murex 7024E7024ACMurex® 7024 has a heavy coating with high iron powder designed to deliver excellent deposition rates. Welding is in the flat and horizontal positions only.
MIG Wire
Murematic S3ER70S-3DC+The best value in the industry for general purpose carbon steel welding. Murematic® S3 copper coated wire is an excellent choice for a broad spectrum of single and multiple pass welding applications. It is a low carbon wire with moderate levels of manganese and silicon that has an excellent record for feedability and trouble-free performance. Recommended for welding on base material that is clean or has light surface contaminants such as rust or mill scale.
Murematic S4+ER70S-4DC+Murematic® S4+ is your first choice when welding on metals with a low to medium presence of surface contaminants such as rust or mill scale. Murematic® S4+ MIG wire has all of the advantages of Murematic S3, with slightly higher levels of manganese and silicon. It has higher "cleaning" levels, and produces a more fluid weld puddle and flatter bead profile. Murematic® S4+ has an excellent reputation for feedability and trouble-free performance.
Murematic S6ER70S-6DC+Murex®'s top copper coated, mild steel MIG wire electrode, Murematic® S6 is an excellent choice for welding on metals with a medium to high presence of surface contaminants such as rust or mill scale. It is a low carbon, high manganese, and very high silicon wire that exhibits very good puddle fluidity, bead profile and spatter control.
Stainless Steel Cut Lengths
Murex TIG 308/308LER308DC-This cut length TIG consumable is for use on the more common austenitic stainless steel grades referred to as "18-8" steels.
Murex TIG 309/309LER309DC-For use on more high alloyed austenitic stainless steels. Can also be used on "18-8" steels, since it overmatches the corrosion resistance, if the weldment will not be exposed to temperatures of 1000 to 1700°F (538 to 927°C).
Murex TIG 316/316LER316DC-Undiluted weld metal is designed to contain considerable ferrite for maximum crack resistance. Should not be used on 316L joints in service for urea manufacture, as this environment will attack the ferrite.
Stainless Steel MIG Wire
Murex 308LSiER308LSiDC+This all-position, quality MIG wire is ideally suited for joining common austenitic stainless steel grades referred to as "18-8" steels. It is specially processed to provide superior feeding and arc stability.
Murex 309LSiER309LSiDC+All-position stainless steel wire for joining higher alloyed austenitic stainless steels. Can also be used on "18-8" steels, since it overmatches the corrosion resistance, if the weldment will not be exposed to temperatures of 1000 to 1700°F (538 to 927°C).
Murex 316LSiER316LSiDC+All-position stainless steel wire. The undiluted weld metal is designed to contain considerable ferrite for high crack resistance in 316L joining and cladding. Can also be used on "18-8" stainless steels.
