E 8016–G–H4
AWS/ASME SFA-5.5 :Application/properties:
Basic electrode used for welding high strength fine grain structural steels.Weld metal is extremely metallurgical pure 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.
