▎Applications and Features

  • It is suitable for welding 540N/mm2 grade steel for low temperature resistance.
  • It provides high deposition rate, smooth welding beads and X-ray quality welds.
  • Weld metal contains2.5%Ni and good impact properties at -60°C.
  • It is ideal for welding in LNG storage tanks or 2.5% Ni steel for low temperature resistance.

▎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 90~110°C.

▎Application

It is ideal for welding in LNG storage tanks or 2.5% Ni steel for low temperature resistance.
