Blue Steel™ / The Iron Man Electrode
Blue Steel is the true workhorse of the all-steel electrodes. It is ideal for welding a variety of steels in all positions.

• Superior arc characteristics — the Chem-A-Tized2 coating produces a spray type arc with a smooth bead, little to no spatter and a self-releasing slag
• High strength — produces weld deposits that are crack-free and high in strength and elongation
• Multi-purpose — can be used to join any combination of all weldable grades of steels - cast steel, stainless, low alloy, mild, manganese, tool or spring steel
• Can be used on AC or DC
• Withstands stress and vibration
• Easy restrike
