Characteristics, Features & Application
DURAMAX RG45 welding rods are used for the oxyfuel gas welding of steels, where the minimum tensile strength requirement of the steel does not exceed 45 ksi (300 MPa). DMRG45 rods have a low carbon steel composition, they may be used to join wrought Iron and are a general purpose oxyfuel gas welding rod.

Recommended Operation of Welding Rods
DURAMAX RG45 may be used either forehand or backhand
welding. Use a neutral flame or with a slight excess of acetylene.
In the making of it is possible to produce a weld with a composition intermediate between those of the base metal and the filler metal.
