Electrodes for Creep Resisting Steels

Low hydrogen iron powder electrodes depositing 0.5%Mo with excellent toughness. Weld metal retains mechanical properties after prolonged heat treatments. Ideal for welding C-0.5Mo steels, plates, pipes for pressure vessel, boilers, etc. where toughness at -20°C is required. The weld metal possesses good creep strength up to 525°C.

1. Ensure the electrodes are dry. Re-dry the electrodes at 250-300°C for one hour.

2. Use short arc and stringer bead.
