ELECTRODE WIA AUSTARC 24 4.0MM 7024 IRON POWDER

Austarc 24 4.0mm Welding Electrode – 7024 Iron Powder | WIA

Product Overview

The Austarc 24 4.0mm Welding Electrode by WIA (Welding Industries of Australia) is a premium AWS A5.1 E7024 classified iron powder electrode engineered for high-deposition, high-speed manual metal arc (MMA/SMAC/Stick) welding of mild steel. Renowned across Australian fabrication, construction, and heavy engineering industries, the Austarc 24 delivers a smooth, stable arc with minimal spatter — ideal for flat and horizontal fillet welds where productivity and weld appearance matter most.

Key Features

• AWS Classification: E7024 – iron powder, high-deposition rate electrode
• Diameter: 4.0mm — suited to medium-to-heavy section mild steel welding
• Iron Powder Coating: Boosts deposition efficiency (typically 150–170%) and welding speed compared to standard rutile electrodes
• Smooth, Stable Arc: Easy strike and re-strike, minimal spatter, self-peeling slag for reduced post-weld cleanup
• High Deposition Rate: Increases productivity on long fillet and lap welds
• Excellent Bead Appearance: Flat to slightly convex profile with fine, uniform ripple
• Positions: Optimised for flat (1F/1G) and horizontal (2F/2G) welding positions
• Polarity: AC or DC+/DC- compatible

Typical Applications

• Structural steel fabrication
• General mild steel plate and sheet welding
• Shipbuilding and heavy engineering
• Storage tanks, pressure vessels (where positional limits apply)
• High-production fillet welding in workshops and construction sites
