DIN 8575:E Mo B 42 H 5
prEN 1599: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+550°C. Welds are of X-ray quality.
Preheating, inter-pass temperature and post-weld heat treatment in accordance with base metal to be welded.
