⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ahmed Al-Farsi - Civil Infrastructure Contractor
"We’ve used the G12 Welding Electrode on two major bridge repair projects in Dubai, and the performance has been outstanding. The high titania coating ensures a stable arc even in high-heat conditions, and slag removal is effortless—cutting cleanup time by nearly half. We're using the Advanced Model (150A–250A) for coastal structures, and the enhanced corrosion resistance is clearly making a difference."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Viktor Ivanov - Industrial Welder, Machinery Fabrication
"After testing several E6013 electrodes, the G12 stands out for its consistency. The arc starts cleanly on both AC and DC, and it holds steady even at the lower end of the range (90A). I’m using it for repairing excavator frames and loader arms—thick carbon steel applications—and the weld integrity is excellent. Plus, the ISO 2560-B-E4313A certification gives our clients confidence in our work."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ James Carter - Automotive Enthusiast & Home Fabricator
"I bought the Base Model for garage projects—mostly trailer repairs and roll cage fabrication. For a weekend welder like me, it’s very forgiving. The arc is smooth, spatter is minimal, and I don’t struggle with sticking like I did with cheaper rods. It’s not meant for 1-inch steel, but within its 250A limit, it performs reliably. Only reason I didn’t give five stars is the packaging—needs better moisture sealing for humid climates."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Priya Nair - Structural Engineer, Coastal Projects
"We customized the G12 electrodes (J38.12 grade) for a seawater-exposed footbridge in Abu Dhabi. The ability to tweak the alloy ratio for enhanced corrosion resistance was a game-changer. Even after six months of exposure, weld zones show no signs of pitting. The Pro Model’s 60,000 PSI tensile strength gives us the safety margin we need for public infrastructure. Fully compliant with Dubai’s welding standards."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maintenance Crew Lead - Dubai Metro Rail Facility
"We use the G12 electrodes daily for track support beam repairs and rolling stock maintenance. The all-position welding capability is crucial when working overhead or in tight spaces. No preheating needed, and the slag flakes off cleanly—huge for reducing downtime. We’ve placed repeat orders for the Pro Model due to its higher current tolerance and durability under stress."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 2 months

Dr. Elena Rodriguez - Senior Metallurgist & Welding Consultant
"The G12 Electrode series represents a significant advancement in rutile-coated electrodes. Its combination of ease-of-use and structural reliability makes it ideal for both infrastructure and repair work. The ISO certification, coupled with customizable alloy content, positions it ahead of generic E6013 rods. I recommend the Advanced or Pro models for any project where long-term fatigue resistance and environmental resilience are critical."
Mohammed Tariq - Infrastructure Safety Auditor, GCC Region
"In my inspections across UAE bridge projects, the G12 electrode consistently meets or exceeds safety documentation requirements. Its traceable ISO 2560-B-E4313A certification simplifies compliance reporting. I’ve seen fewer weld reworks on sites using this product compared to non-certified alternatives. A reliable choice for audited construction environments."
