AWS A5.5 / ASME SFA5.5 E7016-G
JIS Z3211 E4916-N1 AP L
EN ISO 2560-A E42 6 Z B H5
Notes on Usage
Welding Positions:
① Dry the electrodes at 350~400 ℃(662~752℉) for 60 minutes before use.
② Keep the arc as short as possible, and avoid large width of weaving.
③ 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.
Applications
AWS A5.5 / ASME SFA5.5 E7016-G is extra low hydrogen type covered electrode. It can be used for welding of high tensile steel and low temperatures applications such as off-shore structure, LPG storage tank and carrier.
Welding Position
Characteristics on Usage
Deposited weld metal is Ni, Ti, B type and better notch toughness down to -60℃(-76℉) and
CTOD properties at -40℃(-40℉) temperature. Its usability is good with AC/DC+ applications and
very low hydrogen electrode.
Current
AC or DC +
