812000248 - Sureweld 7024 Iron Powder Stick Electrode 1/8"

High-Efficiency Iron Powder Electrode for Heavy Fabrication

The ESAB Sureweld 7024 is a premium quality, heavy-coated iron powder electrode engineered specifically for high-speed welding applications. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication, this electrode (AWS E7024) excels in delivering exceptional deposition rates, significantly outperforming standard cellulosic or rutile electrodes in flat and horizontal positions. The heavy iron powder coating facilitates a smooth, stable arc and allows for higher current carrying capacities, translating directly into increased travel speeds and productivity for large-scale manufacturing and structural projects.

Technically, Sureweld 7024 is formulated to produce equal 45-degree fillets, which helps operators avoid the common issue of over-welding, thereby saving consumable costs and reducing post-weld grinding time. The electrode exhibits superior mechanical properties that exceed AWS A5.1 elongation and Charpy V-Notch requirements for the 7024-1 classification. It is particularly effective in obtaining deep penetration with little to no root porosity, ensuring structural integrity in critical joints. The slag system is designed to be self-cleaning in many applications, or very easily removable, leaving behind a bead appearance that rivals submerged arc welding in smoothness and consistency.

This electrode is an optimal choice for fabrication environments where positioning can be controlled. It is widely utilized in the manufacturing of earthmoving equipment, construction machinery, truck bodies, ships, barges, and railcars. By leveraging the high deposition efficiency of Sureweld 7024, facility managers and welding engineers can optimize throughput for long, continuous fillet welds on mild and select alloy steels.
