9600.2555S - Josef S165 Steel Stick Electrodes 2.5mm - 0.5kg Maintenance Pack

Reliable Steel Welding with Josef S165

The Josef S165 Stick Electrode is a premium choice for welders seeking reliability and ease of use in general steel fabrication and maintenance. This specific 2.5mm variant comes in a convenient 0.5kg tube, making it the ideal solution for small repair jobs, hobbyist projects, or mobile welding tasks where carrying large bulk boxes is unnecessary. Engineered to provide a smooth, stable arc, the S165 series is renowned for its forgiving nature, allowing operators to produce high-quality welds even when conditions are less than perfect.

One of the standout features of the Josef S165 is its exceptional all-position capability. Whether you are welding flat, horizontal, vertical-up, or overhead, this electrode maintains a controllable puddle and consistent bead profile. It is particularly effective on mild steel and is formulated to handle base metals that may have slight rust or surface contaminants, which is a common scenario in maintenance and repair operations (MRO). The slag system is designed to detach easily, often curling up on its own, which reduces post-weld cleanup time and improves overall productivity.

Designed for compatibility with a wide range of power sources, the S165 performs admirably on both AC and DC currents. Its low open-circuit voltage requirement means it runs smoothly even on smaller, portable welding inverters often used in home garages or light industrial sites. The 2.5mm diameter is versatile enough for welding thin-to-medium gauge sheets, providing good penetration without burning through. With the Josef S165, you get a professional-grade consumable that simplifies the welding process, ensuring strong, durable connections every time.
