▎Applications and Features

  • (1) KN-818C3 is suitable for welding 540N/mm2 grade steel for low temperature resistance.
  • It provides high deposition rate, good mechanical properties and X-ray quality welds.
  • Weld metal contains 1.0%Ni-0.20%Mo and good impact properties at -40°C.
  • It is ideal for welding in ASTM A226 (A, B), A235 (F, G), A236(C, E, F) and A302 steel.

▎Welding Instruction

  1. Clean up the contaminations on the steel.
  2. Dry the electrodes at 350~400°C for 60 minutes before welding.
  3. Keep arc as short as possible. Take the back step method to prevent porosity at arc start and re-start. (Please refer to Appendix A).
  4. High heat input will lower the impact value. Please carefully select the welding current.
  5. The preheat temperature for thick plate is 90~120°C.

▎Application

It is ideal for welding in ASTM A226 (A, B), A235 (F, G), A236(C, E, F) and A302 steel.
