AWS A5.26 EG82T-G

Characteristics and Application

AWS A5.26 EG82T-G is a self-shielded flux-cored wire used for single pass, vertical up, electrogas welding (EGW) of storage tank, shipbuilding, heavy equipment fabrication and structural welding. It provides good low-temperature impact toughness at -460 C. It is suitable for welding 590N/mrn2 high tensile steels with high deposition rate and without consumable guide.

Welding Positions:

Notes on usage:

1. Use DC(+) polarity
2. Mechanical properties depend on plate chemistry and joint geometry.

3.Pre-heat the workpiece and star-up zone.

4. Baffle plate should be tightened firmly to prevent a leak of deposited metal.

5. Control all parameters with cares during welding, such as shape of weld joint, tube material, cooling rate.

6.Keep the product dry, while it is stored or delivered.
