This low hydrogen single coated general purpose electrode is used for out of position welding, except vertical down. Excellent strength and toughness makes it ideal for construction, boilers, containers, shipbuilding as well as low purity and high carbon steels.
Features and Applications
Suitable for welding with AC power
Suitable for use in out-of-position welding, except welding in vertical down position
Excellent strength and toughness
Suitable for use in the fields of steel construction, boiler, container, machine manufacturing and shipbuilding construction as well as for use in welding low purity and high carbon steels
Suitable for the formation of welding buffer layers when building up high-carbon steels
Weld deposits with very low hydrogen content
Weld metal recovery of about 125%
Requirement of redrying for minimum 2 hours at temperatures between 300°C & 350°C
