AWS A5.5 / ASME SFA5.5 E9016-G
JIS Z3211 E5716
EN ISO 2560-A - E50 2 B 1 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 Keep the arc as short as possible.
④ Preheat at 60~80℃(140~176℉) before use. The temperature to be applied varies in accordance with plate thickness and steel kind.

⑤ If each pass welds becomes thicker than acceptable level by high amperage of low speed ratio manipulation, the impact values and yield points will decrease.

Applications

AWS A5.5 / ASME SFA5.5 E9016-G can be used for welding of high tensile steel such as pressure vessels, bridges, rolling stock, and machines using steel plates of high tensile steel.
