| Description
and Applications |
| Heavy coated
basic type electrode is especially designed for high quality |
| welding
of pressure vessel steels and creep resisting steels such as 1¼ |
| Cr-½ Mo
and ½ Cr- ½ Mo alloyed. It gives chromium molybdenum alloyed |
| weld metal
which operating temperatures up to +580ºC. Preheating |
| temperature
is requiring at least 200ºC and interpass temperatures up to |
| 350ºC. Weld
metal has very low hydrogen content and easy to handle in all |
| positions
except vertical down. |
