Description
The AFROX 78MR 5.0MM 6KG welding electrode is built for tough jobs that demand power and performance. This heavy-duty E6013 electrode delivers excellent results when welding thicker mild steel materials, making it ideal for structural steel, heavy fabrication, and maintenance work.
Its 5.0mm diameter allows for deeper weld penetration, helping you complete large joints with fewer passes. The rutile-based coating provides a stable arc, low spatter, and smooth slag removal. Because of this, you can achieve clean, professional-looking welds with less effort.
This electrode operates efficiently in all welding positions. Whether you’re working flat, vertical, horizontal, or overhead, it performs reliably. It also runs on both AC and DC current, giving you flexibility with your equipment.
AFROX manufactures the 78MR electrode to meet AWS A5.1 E6013 standards. That means it delivers consistent mechanical performance and strong weld integrity. The 6KG pack is perfect for workshops or field teams who need a dependable electrode in bulk without sacrificing quality.
You’ll appreciate how easily this rod strikes and re-strikes, even in demanding job site conditions. Its clean weld puddle, strong fusion, and low slag residue make it a favourite among professionals who want both strength and efficiency.
