Rutile & Titanium Dioxide
Slag-forming and arc-stabilising additions for rutile electrode coatings.
Rutile electrodes are the most widely used class of covered electrode in general fabrication, and titania is what defines them. It forms a slag that is fluid enough to give a smooth bead and friable enough to detach cleanly, and it makes the arc easy to strike and re-strike.
That combination — easy handling, good appearance, clean slag removal — is why rutile electrodes dominate the general-purpose market.
