Specifically designed for high strength API 5L pipe welding.
CLASSIFICATION : AWS/SFA-5.5: E 8018 P2
CHARACTERISTICS :
Low hydrogen type, moisture resistant electrode have specifically been designed for the welding of fill and cap passes in high strength pipe butt joints using vertical downward and upward progression. These electrode not recommended for the root pass (stringer bead) on open gaps.
APPLICATION :
- Welding of high strength API 5L pipe steels.
- Welding suitable for other high strength, medium and high carbon and low alloy steels.
- Hot tapping and Pipe repairing
RE-DRY CONDITION :
Electrode re-dry 350°C for 1 hrs.ALL WELD CHEMICAL COMPOSITION %
