N-7010-A1

Specification

AWS Specification: AWS A5.5 E7010
JIS Specification: N/A
Other Specification: N/A

Description

N-7010-A1 is a high cellulose electrode specifically designed for vertical down welding of all passes on high tensile pipe
These electrodes are characterized by a steady, forceful, concentrated arc to ensure good penetration and wetting action
The slag is fast freezing, minimizing slag interference, and allows for easy control of the weld shape and size

Application

N-7010-A1 is most suited for the welding of long distance pipe lines
Designed for use on carbon moly piping used in high pressure, high temperature steam service, structural shape, plates or castings where the molybdenum content is approximately 0.50%.
Appropriate for welding higher strength carbon and low alloy steels with tensile strength of 83.0 KSI
May also be used to join some dissimilar Cr-Moly steels of high alloy content to those of lower alloy content

Remarks

The root pass is deposited in the vertical down position

A drag technique is used and the electrode is pressed tightly into the joint

The second or hot pass should be deposited as soon as possible after the root pass

The current should be high enough to burn out any possible wagon tracks or slag A slight weaving technique is usually employed

The filler passes are applied using a weaving technique in order to completely fill the joint

Excessive travel speed should always be avoided to lessen any chance of porosity.

Pre-heat and interpass temperatures between 300�C and 400�C are recommended
