N-7028

Specification

AWS Specification: AWS A5.1 E7028
JIS Specification: D5026
Other Specification: N/A

Description

N-7028 is an iron powder low hydrogen type electrode designed for welding 50 kgf/mm² class tensile strength steels
An extremely small amount of hydrogen in the deposited metal ensures good mechanical properties
Large quantity of iron powder in the covering ensures high efficiency
Stable arc
Smooth bead appearance
Easy-to-remove slag
Excellent usability, particularly outstanding in horizontal fillet welding
Improved operational efficiency can be expected through combined use of long electrodes and gravity welding equipment

Application

Fillet welding of 50 kgf/mm² class tensile strength steel constructing ships, bridges, buildings and other structures

Remarks

Dry before use at 300-350�C for approximately 60 minutes

Pits or blowholes may occur with welds in excessively primer-coated steel plates

The ideal ration of electrode length consumed to bead length deposited is between 1:1.2 and 1:1.4
