Electrode producing tough and crack-free welded joints, also suite for welding steels having a carbon content of up to 0,6 %. The weld metal has a very low hydrogen content and is resistant to ageing. Electrode approved for rail joint welding. Very good gap bridging properties. Owing to its double covering (up to 3,2 mm), electrode features a stable and concentrated arc and is therefore well-suited to positional welding. Suitable to use in welding of dynamically loaded machinery, steel construction, bridge, pipe and pipe line construction, tank, pressure vessel and shipbuilding. Welds are of X-ray quality.
