N-7048

Specification

AWS Specification: AWS A5.1 E7048
JIS Specification: D5016
Other Specification: DIN E5155B9

Description

N-7048 is a low hydrogen type electrode exclusively designed for vertical downward welding
Excellent mechanical properties and crack resistibility of weld metal
Self-lifting slag
Remarkable efficiency for vertical downward welding

Application

Vertical downward welding of ships, building, and bridges

Remarks

Position the electrode straight downward without weaving and press its tip against the mother plate

Dry the electrodes at 350-400 degrees C for about 60 minutes before use

Keep the arc as short as possible

Adopt back step method or strike the arc on a small steel plate prepared for this particular purpose to prevent blowholes at the arc starting

Typical data and test results for mechanical properties, deposit, or electrode composition and other properties were obtained from a weld produced and tested according to prescribed standards and should not be assumed to be the expected results in a particular application or weldment. Actual results will vary depending on many factors, including, but not limited to, weld procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design, and fabrication methods. Users are cautioned to confirm by qualification testing, or other appropriate means, the suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in the intended application.
