AWS/ASME SFA-5.5: | E 7018–G–H4 |
DIN 8529 : | E SY 42 761 Ni B H5 |
EN 499 : | E 46 61 Ni B 42 H5 |
Application/properties:
Electrode for producing crack-free and tough welded joints. Weld metal is extremely metallurgical purity having very low hydrogen content. The electrode has a stable and concentrated arc, thus being well-suited or positional welding. Welds are of X-ray quality. CTOD-tested for offshore application.
