AWS A5.5 / ASME SFA5.5 E8018-C3
JIS Z3211 E5518-N2
EN ISO 2560-A - E46 4 1Ni B 3 2

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 in danger of initiating cracking.

③ Preheat at 80~100℃(176~212℉) before use. The temperature to be applied varies in accordance with plate thickness and steel kind.

Applications

AWS A5.5 / ASME SFA5.5 E8018-C3 can be used for welding of high tensile steel and 1%Ni steel used in machinery, pressure vessels, storage tanks for low temperature.
