WELDING ELECTRODE

Classifications AWS A5.5 : E9018-M

Approvals ABS : 4YQ460

All positional, basic coated, low hydrogen electrode depositing exceptionally clean
Product Description metal of radiographic quality. Excellent de-slag with good welder appeal. The addition
of iron powder gives a recovery of ∼ 110%.
Widely used for the welding of low alloy steel of a tensile strength 600/700 N/mm²
Applications such as RQT600, HY80, NAXTRA 70. Frequently used for tack welding steels of
higher tensile strength.

Storage
Storage and Re-Drying It is recommended that the WB range of electrodes are stored in a dry heated store at
a minimum temperature of 18°C, and a maximum relative humidity of 60%. To avoid
damage to the coatings no more than 6 cartons should be staked on top of another.

Re-drying if standard packaging


Re-dry @ 350°C for 2 hours and then transfer to holding oven and hold @ 100 -
200°C, or 50-100°C in heated quiver.
