AWS A5.1 / ASME SFA5.1 E7016
JIS Z3211 E4916
EN ISO 2560-A - E42 3 B 1 2

Notes on Usage

Welding Positions:

① Dry the electrodes at 300~350℃(572~662℉) for 60 minutes before use.
② Adopt back step method or strike the arc on a small steel plate prepared for this particular
purpose to prevent blow hole at the arc starting.
③ Keep the arc as short as possible.

Applications

AWS A5.1 / ASME SFA5.1 E7016 Welding rod can be used for welding of high tensile steel of ships, such as bridges, buildings and pressure vessels.

Welding Position

Characteristics on Usage

AWS A5.1 / ASME SFA5.1 E7016 Welding rod is a low hydrogen type electrode. Fume generation is about 20~30% less than conventional electrode.

AWS A5.1 / ASME SFA5.1 E7016 Welding rod  is effective for the use in insufficient ventilation.
X-ray performance and mechanical properties of all-weld metal are good.
Good crack resistance due to less hydrogen content.
