S113832-031 - Hobart 447A E6013 Stick Electrodes 3/32-Inch 50lb Carton

High-Performance Mild Steel Stick Electrodes

The Hobart 447A is a premium quality stick electrode designed to meet the rigorous demands of general purpose fabrication and maintenance operations. Classified as an AWS E6013 electrode, this product is engineered to deliver versatility and reliability across a wide range of welding scenarios. With a diameter of 3/32 inch (2.4 mm), it is particularly well-suited for applications involving mild steel, offering a balance of penetration and deposition that professionals trust. The 50 lb (22.7 kg) carton ensures that workshops and industrial sites have an ample supply of consumables on hand for extensive projects, reducing downtime associated with restocking.

Exceptional Control for Poor Fit-Up

One of the standout features of the Hobart 447A is its fast-freeze characteristic. In real-world fabrication environments, joint fit-up is not always perfect. Gaps and misalignment can pose significant challenges to weld integrity and aesthetic appearance. The fast-freezing slag system of this electrode allows the molten pool to solidify quickly, making it exceptionally effective at bridging gaps and managing poor fit-up conditions. This capability is crucial for repair work on machine parts, shaft build-up, and structural modifications where preparation time may be limited or existing conditions are less than ideal.

Versatile All-Position Welding

Flexibility is key in maintenance and repair operations (MRO), and the Hobart 447A delivers with its all-position welding capability. Whether the job requires welding in flat, horizontal, vertical-up, vertical-down, or overhead positions, this electrode maintains a stable arc and consistent performance. It is compatible with multiple current types, including Alternating Current (AC), Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN), and Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP). This broad compatibility ensures that the electrode can be used with a wide variety of welding power sources, from basic buzz boxes to advanced industrial inverters.

Ideal for Sheet Metal Applications

Beyond heavy structural work, the Hobart 447A is an excellent choice for sheet metal welding. Its stable arc characteristics minimize spatter and reduce the risk of burn-through on thinner gauges, resulting in a clean, professional weld bead appearance. This makes it a preferred option for fabricating metal buildings, ductwork, and other sheet metal assemblies where cosmetic finish and structural soundness are equally important. By choosing Hobart 447A, fabricators gain a dependable solution that enhances productivity and weld quality across diverse mild steel applications.
