Features
- Double-coated electrode combining rutile arc characteristics with basic electrode mechanical strength
- Suitable for both AC and DC welding with low open circuit voltage compatibility
- Low hydrogen design (<10 ml/100 g) minimizes hydrogen-induced cracking
- Basic coating formulation for improved slag detachment and smooth weld bead
- Ideal for all-position welding on earthmoving equipment and plant repairs
- Supplied in vacuum-packed (VacPac) moisture-resistant packaging to eliminate on-site re-drying
- Classification SFA/AWS A5.1: E7016 and EN ISO 2560-A: E 38 2B 32 H10
- Excellent tensile properties: 450 MPa yield strength, 530 MPa tensile strength, 28% elongation
- Charpy V-notch impact value of 90 J at –20 °C for high toughness
- Typical weld metal composition: 0.07% C, 0.9% Mn, 0.6% Si
