ESB 48 – Basic electrode

Suitable for welding fabrication of dynamically loaded steel contructions, bridge, shipbuilding, pipe-line, pressure vessels, tanks, boiler and machines where high tougness is required. Weld metal recovery is appx. 115 %. Smooth and clean welds merging into base metal without undercuts. Good gap bridging properties. Welds are of X-ray quality. It is suited for depositing buffer layers on higher carbon steels.

• It can be dried maximum 5 times.
• It should be stored in a dry room (relative humidity < 50%, room temperature > 20°C) on wooden pallets.
• It has to be dried at 350°C for 2 hours.
