A Basic coated 2.50% Ni alloyed electrode for welding low ally steels.
CLASSIFICATION : AWS/SFA-5.5: E 8018 C1
IS-1395: E 55BC 126Fe
IS-1395: E 55BC 126Fe
CHARACTERISTICS :
A medium coated Hydrogen controlled, basic coated iron powder type electrode presence of Mn & Ni in appropriate proportion imparts to weld a high degree of low temperature notch toughness. The weld deposit controlled 2.50% Ni which imparts good resistance to brittle fracture down to -59°C.
APPLICATION :
- Suitable for fabrication of LNG storage tanks.
- Liquified gases, cryogenic vessels, to weld 2.25% Ni steels, oil refinery valves, pressure vessels.
- Construction of components to be subjected to low temperature service in petrochemical industries.
RE-DRY CONDITION : Re-Dry the electrode at 300°C for 1 hrs, for best results.
