AWS A5.1 / ASME SFA5.1 E7048
JIS Z3211 E4948
EN ISO 2560-A - E42 3 B 3 5

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 to prevent blow hole at the arc starting.

③ Use wind screen against strong wind.

Applications

AWS A5.5 / ASME SFA5.5 E8016-G can be used for welding of high tensile steel, such as buildings, bridges and shipbuilding.
