OK 46.16 is a universal rutile-cellulose welding electrode for welding unalloyed steels in all welding positions. Diameters up to and including 3.2 mm can also be welded in the vertical down position. The electrode is particularly suitable for poorly aligned joints and tack welding, and produces a smooth, stable arc with a smooth weld appearance and easily removable slag.
OK 46.16 is used for general structural work, shipbuilding, boiler making and maintenance work where an easy-to-handle electrode with reliable welding properties is required.
