ENKA Electrodes for High Tensile Steel NK-7018 AWS A5.1 E7018 3.2mm 1pack(5kg)

NK-7018 is an iron powder low hydrogen type electrode, which has been designed for the use on heavy-duty structures in all positions. Its hydrogen content of weld metal is very low and it has excellent toughness and crack resistibility. It has applied of low carbon steel with high efficiency. high. APPLICATIONS Heavy-duty structures, shipbuilding, boilers, storage tanks, pressure vessels and thick plate structures using 50 kgf/mm2 class high tensile steel. INSTRUCTIONS FOR WELDING 1. Dry the electrodes at 350 - 400ºC for 30-60 minutes before use. 2. Choose the welding current within the suitable welding current range. 3. Adopt back step method or strike the arc on a start tab to prevent blowholes at the arc starting. 4. Keep the arc length as short as possible.
