BabbittIron Powder Low Hydrogen Type Covered Electrode for Pipes and High Tensile Steels
FamiliArc LB-8018 is an iron powder low hydrogen type covered electrode for all welding position. It suitable uses for X65 pipe welding. FamiliArc LB-8018 is also able use for welding of general structures and high tensile steels. It provides good notch toughness at low temperature down to -40 °C. It is applicable both of DC and AC polarity.
Notes on Usage:
- Re-dry the electrode at 350-400 °C for 60 minutes before use.
- Store the electrode in an oven (100-150 °C) near the welding area after finished re-drying.
- Use the backstep technique directly in the welding groove or strike an arc on a small steel plate to prevent cracking at the arc starting.
- Reverse side bead with good apperance is obtained with proper current and optimum root gap.
- Keep the arc length as short as possible.
