Notes on Usage
Welding Positions:
① Dry the electrodes at 350~400 ℃(662~752℉) for 60 minutes before use.
② Adopt back step method or strike the arc on a small steel plate prepared for this particular purpose because arc striking on the base metal is prone to initiating cracking.
③ Keep the arc as short as possible.
④ Preheat at 80~100℃(176~212℉). The temperature varies in accordance with the plate thickness and possible.
⑤ If each welded pass becomes thicker than acceptable level by high amperage or low speed ratio manipulation, the impact values and yield points will decrease.
Applications
AWS A5.5 / ASME SFA5.5 E8016-C1 is designed for welding of 2.5%Ni steel used in machinery for low temperature.
