DIN 8575:E CrMo 1 B 42 H 5+
prEN1599:Application/properties:
Basic electrode that uses nano technology in a humid environment with 80% humidity, the electrode coating is resistant to moisture absorption for 9 hours. This electrode is suitable for welding of creep resistant and high-pressure hydrogen resistant steels used in the construction of pressure vessels, boilers and piping subjected to operating temperatures up to +570°C. Welds are of X-ray quality.Preheating, interpass temperature and post-weld heat treatment in accordance with base metal to be welded.
