For mild and low alloy steels. Tartan A is an ideal electrode for general mild and low alloy steel applications. It has been specially developed for the maintenance welder. Tartan A runs with ease in all positions producing a sound weld deposit with minimum operator skill. Stringer or weave beads may be used with equal success. Vertical welds are simple either up or down.
Tartan A has a wide range of amperage settings which make it easy use on thin, thick or poor fit-up applications. Tartan A exhibits excellent crack resistance with low alloy steels. Deposits exhibit excellent machinability. Download PDF

Applications
Tartan A is an ideal electrode for general mild and low alloy steel applications.
Tartan A has a wide range of amperage settings which make it easy use on thin, thick or poor fit-up applications.
Recommended Settings
AC or DCEP (+/- 50% of recommended settings)
Recommended Settings:
3/32” Diameter – 50 amps
1/8” Diameter – 80 amps
3/16” Diameter – 100 amps
Best Practices
Hold electrode at a slight incline in the direction of travel.
For vertical or overhead welds lower amperage setting, weave and move fast enough to prevent weld puddle from dropping.
