• Applications
  • Single-layer and multi-layer welding of shipbuilngs.
  • Characteristics on Usage
    • - As the penetration deep, it is suitable for welding of thick plate in both side single-layer welding.
      lmpact value (or mechanical priperties) of weld metal and crack resistibility are excellent.
      Also applicable to one-side welding. As the consumption of flux is low, lt is economical.
  • Notes on Usage
    • - Dry the flux at 300~350℃ (572~662℉) for 60 minutes before use.
    • - Pay attention to welding voltage. Excessive welding voltage causes deterioration of joint properties.
    • - Add new flux periodically to prevent the weld defects and bad bead appearance which occurs when continuously reusing the flux.
    • - Weld pass should be limited to 3 or 4 passes. (please inquire of the manufactures when welding more than 5 passes)
