AWS/SFA-5.5: E 8045 P2 H4R
Low hydrogen type, moisture resistant electrode specifically designed for welding hot, fill, and cap passes in high strength pipe butt joints using vertical downward progression. Not recommended for vertical upward welding or root pass (stringer bead) on open gaps.
No need for drying. The electrodes are vacuum packed and can be used straight on the job.
Hydrogen content: 4 ml/100g max (typical: 2.50 ml/100g weld metal), measured as per AWS/ANSI 4.3-86
specification.
