61842400 - Bonarc E7014 2.5mm Mild Steel Welding Rods - High Deposition

High-Efficiency Mild Steel Welding Electrode

The Bonarc E7014 2.5mm Stick Electrode is a high-speed, iron powder titania type electrode designed for welding mild steel applications where deposition rate and travel speed are critical factors. Classified under AWS A5.1 as E7014, this consumable is engineered with a heavy coating containing iron powder, which significantly increases the metal recovery rate compared to standard cellulosic or rutile electrodes like E6013. This feature allows for higher welding currents and faster travel speeds, translating to improved productivity in fabrication environments.

This electrode is characterized by its smooth, stable arc and low spatter levels, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring aesthetic bead profiles. The 2.5mm diameter is versatile enough for sheet metal work while still providing sufficient deposition for light structural components. The slag system is designed to be self-releasing in many instances, or easily detachable with minimal chipping, reducing post-weld cleanup time. The Bonarc E7014 offers medium penetration, which helps minimize burn-through on thinner gauge materials while ensuring adequate fusion on thicker sections.

Ideally suited for single and multiple pass welding, the Bonarc E7014 operates effectively in all positions, including flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead. However, its fluid puddle is particularly advantageous in the flat and horizontal fillet positions where the high deposition rate can be fully utilized. It performs exceptionally well on AC power sources, as well as DCEN (Straight Polarity) and DCEP (Reverse Polarity), providing flexibility across various power supply configurations. Mechanical properties meet the 70,000 psi tensile strength requirement, ensuring structural integrity for general purpose fabrication, machinery parts, and maintenance repairs.

The electrode's ability to bridge gaps makes it a preferred choice for fit-up conditions that are less than perfect. It is widely utilized in the manufacturing of storage tanks, agricultural implements, and general steel structures where a balance of speed, appearance, and ease of use is required.
