FAQ

For a 2.5mm diameter steel electrode, the recommended amperage range is typically between 60 and 90 Amps, depending on the material thickness and welding position.

Yes, the Josef S220 is designed to operate stably on both Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) power sources.

The S220 is an all-position electrode. While it excels in flat, horizontal, and vertical-up positions, specific vertical-down capabilities depend on the specific coating formulation. Generally, general-purpose steel rods can handle vertical welding effectively.

Store the electrodes in a dry, low-humidity environment. If the package is opened, it is best to keep them in a rod oven or a sealed container to prevent moisture pickup which can affect weld quality.

Yes, Josef Gas provides competitive pricing for bulk orders. Please contact our sales team directly to discuss volume discounts for your shop.

We strive to keep the Josef S220 series in stock at our facility. You can check real-time availability by calling our desk or visiting us in-store.

The S220 is designed for welding mild steel and low-alloy steels. It is not suitable for aluminum, stainless steel, or cast iron.

For general mild steel applications, a rod oven is not strictly required if the rods are kept dry. However, for code-quality work or if the rods have been exposed to damp air, reconditioning in a rod oven is recommended.
