Basic Coated 2.50% Ni Alloyed Electrode for Welding Low Alloy Steels
Classification:
AWS/SFA-5.5: E 8018 C1
IS-1395: E 55BC 126Fe
Characteristics:
A medium-coated, hydrogen controlled, basic coated iron powder electrode. Presence of Mn & Ni in appropriate proportions imparts high low-temperature notch toughness. The weld deposit contains 2.50% Ni, providing excellent resistance to brittle fracture down to -59°C.
Application:
- Suitable for fabrication of LNG storage tanks.
- Fabrication of LNG storage tanks.
- Liquefied gas and cryogenic vessels, welding 2.25% Ni steels.
- Oil refinery valves and pressure vessels.
- Construction of components subjected to low-temperature service in petrochemical industries.
Re-Dry Condition:
Re-dry the electrode at 300°C for 1 hour for best results.
