Features

  • General purpose DC+ electrode for mild and low alloy steels.
  • Basic covering coating for stable arc performance and easy slag removal.
  • Low diffusible hydrogen content (< 5.0 ml/100 g) for crack-resistant welds.
  • Classified to AWS A5.1 (E7018) and EN ISO 2560-A (E 42 4 B 42 H5).
  • Approved by ABS, BV, CE, DB, DNV, LR, UKCA and VdTÜV.
  • High yield strength (445 MPa) and tensile strength (540 MPa) as welded.
  • Excellent ductility with 28 % elongation in the as-welded condition.
  • Charpy V-Notch impact toughness 70 J at − 40 °C.
  • Typical weld metal analysis: C 0.04 %, Mn 1.19 %, Si 0.64 %.
  • Deposition rate of 1.76 kg/h at 120–190 A for 4.0 × 450 mm electrodes.
  • 22 electrodes per kg of weld metal (4.0 × 450 mm).
  • Fusion time per electrode at 90 % Imax: 92 sec.
