Features
- Reliable and versatile: OK 48.00 is a general purpose electrode that can be used for welding a variety of carbon steels, including carbon manganese steels and fine-grained carbon manganese steels with elevated yield strength.
- Tough and crack-resistant welds: OK 48.00 deposits a tough, crack-resistant weld metal that is ideal for applications where strength and durability are critical.
- Low moisture absorption: The coating on OK 48.00 is of the low moisture absorption type, which helps to prevent the formation of weld defects.
- Fast welding speeds: OK 48.00 can be welded in all positions, including the vertical-up position, and it offers fast welding speeds.
- Insensitive to base material composition: OK 48.00 is insensitive to the composition of the base material within fairly wide limits, making it a versatile choice for a variety of welding applications.
- Meets NACE TM0177 and TM0284 standards: OK 48.00 has been tested and meets the requirements of the NACE TM0177 and TM0284 standards, which means it is suitable for welding in corrosive environments.
- Low diffusible hydrogen: OK 48.00 has low diffusible hydrogen, which helps to reduce the risk of cold cracking.
- H4 R approved.
- Outstanding low moisture pick up.
- High efficiency bringing productivity.
- Extremely good weldability in vertical up position.
- Exceptional weld appearance.
