S114851-031 - Hobart 24 E7024 Stick Electrodes 5/32 Inch 50lb Carton

High-Speed E7024 Stick Electrodes for Heavy Fabrication

The Hobart 24 is a premium quality E7024 stick electrode designed for high-speed welding applications where efficiency and bead appearance are paramount. Known in the industry for its heavy iron powder coating, this electrode—often referred to as a "jet rod"—delivers exceptional deposition rates that far exceed standard cellulosic or rutile electrodes. It is specifically engineered for flat and horizontal fillet welds, making it an indispensable consumable for heavy fabrication shops, structural steel projects, and equipment manufacturing.

One of the standout features of the Hobart 24 is its ease of use. The heavy coating allows welders to use a drag technique, maintaining a constant arc length by simply resting the coating on the workpiece. This reduces operator fatigue and ensures consistent bead profiles even over long passes. The arc force is smooth yet robust enough to minimize slag entrapment, a common issue in high-speed welding. Furthermore, the slag system is formulated to be self-removing in most conditions; often, the slag will curl up and detach as the weld cools, leaving a clean, professional-looking bead with fine ripples that resembles a submerged arc weld.

This 50 lb (22.7 kg) carton of 5/32-inch (4.0 mm) electrodes is ideal for industrial environments requiring high throughput. Whether you are fabricating storage tanks, constructing barge frames, or repairing heavy earthmoving equipment, the Hobart 24 provides the speed and quality necessary to meet demanding production schedules. It operates effectively on AC, DCEN, and DCEP currents, offering flexibility depending on your power source and specific joint requirements.
