Characteristics and typical fields of application

• Basic covered electrode with excellent welding characteristics including out-of-position work.
• Particular good impact properties down to -50oC.
•  CTOD tested at -10oC.
•  Weld metal recovery is about 115%*.
•  Crack-free weld metal when welding high-carbon steels.
•  Suitable for use in tank construction, boiler and pressure vessel manufacturing, apparatus engineering, vehicle manufacture, offshore applications, and shipbuilding.
•  Very low hydrogen content in the weld metal (under AWS conditions HD≤4ml/100gm)
•  Suitable for welding steels with low purity and high carbon content.
