- Pressure vessel and boiler work
- Shipbuilding and earthmoving equipment repairs
- General workshop and maintenance welding on medium-to-thick mild steel sections
Why Choose Ferrocraft 61?
Cigweld's Ferrocraft 61 is engineered for welders who need reliable, code-quality welds in structural and general engineering environments. Its low-hydrogen formulation reduces the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking, making it well-suited to higher-strength steels and thicker sections where weld integrity is critical. The iron powder coating boosts deposition rate, improving productivity on longer welding runs without sacrificing weld quality.
Storage & Handling Tip
As a low-hydrogen electrode, Ferrocraft 61 should be stored in a dry environment or holding oven once opened to maintain its low-hydrogen properties and prevent moisture pickup, which can affect weld quality.
