Alkaline electrode for welding non-alloy steels

AMA 1007 F

AWS/ASME SFA – 5.1: E 7016 – H8
DIN 8529 : E Y 42 55 Mn B H5
EN 499 : E 42 5 B 41 H5

Application/properties:

Multi-purpose electrode for assembly work, workshop and repair welding; also approved for rail joint welding. Smooth and clean weld blending into base metal without undercut. Good gap bridging properties. The electrode has a stable and concentrated arc and good suitability for AC welding. It is specially suited for root pass and positional welding. Welds are of X-ray quality.
