Electrodes for Low Temperature Service

A low hydrogen, iron powder type electrode yielding a 0.5% Ni in the weld metal. Ideally suited for welding fine-grained steels, heavy sections, and restrained joints requiring good impact strength at sub-zero temperatures down to minus 50°C.                                                                                                                                          Typical applications include welding of C-Mn grain refined steels, heavy sections, and restrained joints requiring good impact strength at sub-zero temperatures o down to minus 50°C.

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

2. Prevent excessive heat input during welding.
