Characteristics and Application

AWS A5.1 E7016 Welding rods, welding electrode  is a low hydrogen type electrode for the welding of 490N/mm2 high tensile steel. The welding can be done with stable arc, less spatters, good slag covering, release, and good X-ray soundness. It is suitable for low alloy steels, medium carbon steels, heavy steel plates, cast steels. Proper base metals such as: structural steel, steel tubes for Heat transfer, plate for pressure vessel, low-alloy steel tube, mechanical structural carbon-steel plate, API-5L.A25.X52.X56.X60.X65, etc. Due to good X-ray and mechanical properties, it is used for skill testing and competition by choice.

Notes on usage:

1. Clean up the contaminations on the base metal to avoid porosity and crack.
2. Dry the electrodes at 300-350℃ for 60 minutes, and keep at 100-150℃ before using.
3. Use back-step method to prevent arc starting from blowholes and hold for 3-5 seconds at every end-UP.
4. Maintain short arc length. Moving range should be controlled within 3 times of the wire's dia when you are welding with weave method.

5. Do not exceed the range of recommended current. Over heat input might decrease the impact value.
