Description

A basic coated hydrogen controlled electrode is designed for all positional welding (except vertical down) of carbon and medium tensile steels and mild steels under conditions of high restraint. This electrode guarantees values below H4, making it ideal for general fabrication work where hydrogen control is required. The iron powder addition in the coating gives a weld metal recovery of approximately 120%, while the striking and re-striking qualities are good and the slag is easily removed from the weld.

 

Features

  • Low hydrogen content for crack-free welds
  • Excellent toughness and ductility
  • Easy to strike and re-strike
  • Good slag removal
  • All-position welding
  • Suitable for structural welding, pressure vessels, and other demanding applications
