In Spite Of Increasing Automation Of Welding Processes; Manual Welding With Covered Electrodes Is Still A Common Practice. Covered Electrodes Can Be Welded With Easiest Equipment; And Nearly Every Welder Is Used To Working With This Welding Process. Especially In Challenging Geological Areas Such As For Pipeline Welding And On Offshore Platforms; Or For Welding Of Difficult To Access Seams In Boilers And Tanks; Stick Electrodes Are Still In Heavy Use. This Basic Electrode Offers Both Very Good Welding Characteristics And High Mechanical Values. A Wide Range Of Approvals Allows To Use This Electrode For Qualified Welds In Nearly All Application Areas. Very Low Hydrogen Content Of Hdm Less Than 4 Ml/100 G. Low Moisture Pick Up. Excellent Impact Properties At 50 C. Approvals: T V (12451.); Abs; Cwb; Bv; Dnv; Gl; Ce. Basic Coated Electrode Engineered For Hight Quality Welds. Excellent Strength And Toughness Properties. Also Suitable For Welding Steels With Low Purity And High Carbon Content. Metal Recovery Greater Than 110%. Good Weldability In Out Of Position Work Except For Vertical Down. Suitable For Welding In Steel Construction; Boiler And Container Fabrication; Vehicle Construction; Shipbuilding; And Machine Construction As Well As For Buffer Layers When Building Up On High Carbon Steels (E.G. On Trailers; Farming Implements; Etc).
