S114844-031 - Hobart 24 E7024 1/8-inch Stick Electrodes (50lb Carton)

High-Efficiency E7024 Stick Electrodes for Heavy Fabrication

The Hobart 24 is a premium quality E7024 stick electrode designed specifically for high-speed fillet welding applications. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial environments, this electrode excels in delivering exceptional deposition rates, making it a preferred choice for large-scale fabrication projects. The 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) diameter rod is formulated to operate smoothly on both DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative) and AC (Alternating Current) power sources, providing flexibility for various shop setups and equipment configurations.

One of the defining characteristics of the Hobart 24 is its ability to produce flat and horizontal fillet welds with remarkable speed and consistency. The electrode utilizes a heavy coating that supports a drag technique, allowing operators to lay down substantial amounts of weld metal quickly. This high-speed capability is critical in industries such as shipbuilding, railroad car manufacturing, and the fabrication of earthmoving equipment, where long, continuous welds are common. The arc force generated by the Hobart 24 is specifically tuned to minimize slag entrapment, ensuring the structural integrity of the weld joint even during rapid travel speeds.

Post-weld efficiency is another key advantage of this consumable. The slag system is designed to be self-removing in most applications, peeling away easily to reveal a smooth, clean bead with equal leg fillets. This feature significantly reduces the time and labor required for chipping and grinding, thereby increasing overall throughput. Whether used for single-pass cosmetic welds or multiple-pass structural joints, the Hobart 24 delivers consistent, high-quality results on mild steel. It is particularly effective for fabricating machine bases, heavy sheet metal, and structural frames where weld appearance and speed are paramount.

Packaged in a durable 50 lb (22.7 kg) carton, these electrodes are ready for high-volume use. The product meets AWS E7024 and E7024-1 specifications, ensuring compliance with industry standards for mild steel welding. By combining ease of use with superior deposition performance, the Hobart 24 stands out as a top-tier solution for maximizing productivity in flat and horizontal welding operations.
