RB-26 is the traditional and advanced covered electrode
for all-position welding (including vertical
downward position) of mild steel sheets.

Inception of RB-26
RB-26 is a high titania type covered electrode for
welding mild steel. It was developed in 1951. The
R in “RB” stands for rutile, which is the major
ingredient in the coating flux, while “B” symbolizes
a slag-shield covered electrode. “26” represents
the 26th year of the Showa era of Japan,
corresponding to 1951 when it was developed.


Is RB-26 old-fashioned?
You may believe that RB-26 is old-fashioned due
to its inception. RB-26, however, is commonly
used worldwide for welding light sheet metals and
light-gauge formed steel in light-duty steel structures,
and for surfacing thick-section welds to
improve rough surfaces (the surface dressing technique).
The consumption of RB-26 differs country
by country. In Southeast Asia and the Middle East,
RB-26 is one of the most commonly used, contemporary
electrodes.

RB-26 is superior to other E6013
electrodes on performance
RB-26 persistently earns a good reputation among
users due to the following outstanding features in
out-of-position welding including the verticaldown
position:
(1) Smoother arc transfer
(2) Less spatter
(3) Self-peeling slag removal (Figure 1)
(4) Smoother bead surfaces with fine ripples
(5) Excellent fusion with base metals provides a
longer bead per one electrode — advantageous
in welding sheet metals
(6) Consistent chemical composition and mechanical
properties (Table 1)

How RB-26 is of international
Kobe Steel has established a worldwide production
and sales network in order to assure quicker delivery
and technical services matching local demands
for RB-26. This electrode is now mainly produced
by Thai-Kobe Welding Co., Ltd. in Thailand in
accordance with the Kobe Steel quality standard,
and is sold not on
