CHARACTERISTICS AND APPLICATIONS:
Moisture resistant hydrogen controlled basic coated electrode for producing tough and ductile
weld of radiographic quality in boilers, pressure vessels, medium carbon steels, cast steel and
problematic steels. The weld metal is clean and has low level of impurities, thus having unique
properties. The electrode can be used in all conventional positions of welding. Some typical
applications include maintenance welding of all types of C-Mn steels, heavy tensile steels,
heavy structures, plants & equipments subjected to static or dynamic loading. Typical
Applications Include: ♦ Coaches ♦ Wagons ♦ Penstocks ♦ Boilers & Pressure vessels ♦ Earth
moving machines etc.
