ED511018 - Lincoln Fleetweld 47 E7014 Welding Rods 4.0mm (5/32")

Lincoln Electric Fleetweld 47 Stick Electrode (E7014)

The Lincoln Electric Fleetweld 47 is a premium E7014 stick electrode designed for high-speed welding on mild steel. This 4.0mm (5/32") electrode is formulated with an iron powder titania coating, which provides significant advantages in deposition rates and operator appeal. It is widely recognized in the industrial MRO sector for its versatility and ease of use, making it a staple for maintenance shops, fabrication facilities, and general repair work.

One of the standout characteristics of the Fleetweld 47 is its exceptional performance on AC polarity, although it runs smoothly on DCEN and DCEP as well. The addition of iron powder to the coating assists in creating a stable, forceful arc that deposits metal efficiently, allowing for faster travel speeds than standard E6013 electrodes. This makes it an excellent choice for production environments where throughput is critical but the simplicity of SMAW is required.

The electrode produces a flat to slightly convex bead with distinct, uniform ripples and a glossy appearance. Slag removal is effortless; in many cases, the slag is self-releasing as the weld cools, reducing post-weld cleanup time significantly. While it is an all-position rod, the 4.0mm diameter is particularly effective for flat and horizontal fillet welds where its high deposition rate can be fully utilized. It is also forgiving enough to handle poor fit-up and light surface contaminants like rust or mill scale.

Key Industrial Applications

• General Maintenance & Repair: Ideal for fixing machinery frames, brackets, and structural components.
• Sheet Metal Fabrication: Excellent for lap and fillet welds on thinner gauges where burn-through must be avoided despite higher speeds.
• Structural Steel: Suitable for non-critical structural welds requiring good strength and appearance.
• Farm & Agriculture: A go-to rod for repairing equipment in the field due to its AC compatibility.
