RATNA 8018 P2 (AWS A5.5: E8018 P2)

High Strength API 5L Pipe Welding Electrode (E 8018 P2)

Classification:

AWS/SFA-5.5: E 8018 P2

Characteristics:

A low hydrogen, moisture-resistant electrode specifically designed for fill and cap passes in high strength pipe butt joints using vertical downward and upward progression. Not recommended for root pass (stringer bead) on open gaps.

Applications:

Welding of high strength API 5L pipe steels.
Welding other high strength, medium/high carbon, and low alloy steels.
Hot tapping and pipe repairing.

Re-Dry Condition:

Re-dry the electrode at 350°C for 1 hour before use.
