Electrode Q E 7018-1 5.0x450mm

Basic electrode engineered for high-quality welds.
- Excellent strength and toughness properties down to -50°C.
- Metal recovery approx. 110%.
- Good weld ability in all position except for verticaldown.
- Very low hydrogen content (acc. AWS condition HD < 4 ml/100g weld metal).
- Suitable for welding steels with low purity and high carbon content
- Welding in steel construction, boiler and tank manufacture, vehicle construction, shipbuilding, and machine construction as well as for buffer layers on build ups on high carbon steels
- Especially suitable for off-shore construction, CTOD tested at -10°C.
