OVERVIEW

Speed Up Your Welds with Bonarc E7024

When you have a lot of steel to lay down and you're working on flat surfaces or horizontal fillets, the Bonarc E7024 is your go-to "jet rod." This 2.5mm stick electrode is packed with iron powder in the coating, which means it melts fast and fills joints quickly. It's designed for welders who need to maximize their travel speed without sacrificing the look of the weld. If you are fabricating heavy structural beams, repairing barge decks, or building heavy equipment frames, this rod helps you clock out sooner by putting down more metal in less time.

One of the best things about the Bonarc 7024 is how easy it runs. You can practically drag the rod right on the plate (drag technique), and it maintains a smooth, steady arc with almost no spatter. Once you're done with a pass, the slag often curls up and peels off on its own, saving you from heavy chipping and grinding. It produces a professional-looking bead with smooth ripples that makes you look good. Just remember, this is a fast-fill rod for flat and horizontal work only—the puddle is too fluid for vertical or overhead welding.

Easy Operation

You can run this rod on AC or DC hookups, giving you versatility depending on your machine. The 18 kg box ensures you have plenty of consumables on hand for those long runs. Whether you call it a drag rod, a jet rod, or just a heavy-coated stick, the Bonarc E7024 is built to make heavy fabrication smoother and faster.

FAQ

E7024 electrodes are designed specifically for the Flat and Horizontal Fillet positions only. The large, fluid weld pool makes them unsuitable for vertical or overhead welding.

The iron powder in the coating melts along with the core wire, significantly increasing the deposition rate (amount of metal deposited per hour) and allowing for faster travel speeds.

Bonarc E7024 is versatile and can be used with AC, DCEN (Electrode Negative), or DCEP (Electrode Positive).

E7024 is not a low-hydrogen electrode, so it does not strictly require a holding oven like E7018. However, it should be stored in a dry place to prevent coating damage from moisture.

Because the thick coating creates a deep cup at the tip, allowing you to physically drag the electrode coating along the workpiece while maintaining the correct arc length automatically.

E7024 deposits metal much faster but is limited to flat/horizontal positions and has lower impact toughness. E7018 is an all-position, low-hydrogen rod with superior mechanical properties for critical welds.

Typically, a 2.5mm (3/32") E7024 runs slightly hotter than standard rods, usually between 70 and 110 Amps, depending on the base metal thickness.
