• Applications
  • Welding of 50kgf/mm² class high tensile strength steel of ships, bridges structure and pressure vessels.
  • Characteristics
    • - Excellent crack resistance even in the welding of difficult to weld steels.
    • - W 7016 is a low hydrogen type electrode with excellent crack resistance.
  • Notes on Usage
    • - Remove dirts such as oil and scale from the groove.
    • - Dry the electrodes at 300~350℃ for 30~60 minutes before use.
    • - Keep the arc as short as possible.
    • - Take the backstep method or strike the arc on a small steel plate prepared to prevent blowholes at the arc starting.
