General Purpose Arc Welding Electrodes

The Sealey WE2516 features a 1.6mm diameter electrode in a 2.5kg pack, making it the perfect choice for fine, precision welding work on thin-gauge mild steel materials. This smaller diameter electrode excels at delicate fabrication tasks, intricate repairs, and applications where heat input must be carefully controlled to prevent warping or burn-through on lightweight materials. Manufactured to BS EN 757 standard, these E6013 general-purpose electrodes deliver professional results across all welding positions. The 1.6mm diameter provides excellent control and precision, particularly valuable for detailed bodywork, thin sheet metal fabrication, and repair work on automotive or appliance components. Compatible with both AC and DC welding currents, these electrodes produce clean, attractive welds with minimal spatter, reducing post-weld cleanup time. The 2.5kg pack size offers an economical option for lighter users or those wanting to trial this diameter before committing to larger quantities. Features and Benefits: • 1.6mm diameter ideal for thin materials and precision work • 2.5kg pack size perfect for occasional use or smaller projects • All-position welding capability for complex fabrications • AC/DC compatibility for equipment versatility • Clean weld appearance minimises finishing requirements Specifications: Brand: Sealey Nett Weight: 2.61kg Pack Weight: 2.5kg Size: Ø1.6 x 300mm Welding Current: 25-50A
