JIS Z3211 E5516-N2
EN ISO 2560-A - E46 4 1Ni B 1 2
Notes on Usage
Welding Positions:
① Dry the electrodes at 350~400℃(662~752℉) for 60 minutes before use.
② Adopt back step method or strike the arc on a small steel plate prepared for this particular purpose to prevent blowhole at the arc starting.
③ Pay attention not to exceed proper heat-input because excessive heat-input causes deterioration of impact values of all weld metal.
Applications
AWS A5.5 / ASME SFA5.5 E8016-C3 can be used for welding of high tensile steel and 1% Ni steel used in machinery, pressure vessels, storage tanks for low temperature.
