JIS Z3211 E5518
EN ISO 2560-A - E46 2 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 plate prepared for this particular purpose because arc striking on the base metal is in danger of initiating cracking.

③ Keep the arc as short as possible.

Applications

AWS A5.5 / ASME SFA5.5 E8018-G can be used for welding of high tensile of shipbuilding, buildings, bridges and pressure vessels.

Welding Position

Characteristics on Usage

 AWS A5.5 / ASME SFA5.5 E8018-G  is an iron powder-low hydrogen type electrode for all position welding.
As its deposition rate is extremely high, working hours can be shortened.The mechanical properties and crack resistibility of the all-weld metal are also good.
