GROOVE ARC E-900

Specification

AWS Specification: N/A
JIS Specification: N/A
Other Specification: N/A

Description

GROOVE ARC E-900 is a special purpose electrode that melts and removes metal along a desired line of travel using an electric arc struck between the workpiece and the electrode
Designed to prevent contaminations on base metal due to the special coating that does not produce weld deposits
Concentrates a forceful and penetrating arc that creates the highest level of arc blast force
Easy initial arc ignition and re-ignition
Special cotaing elements form an electrically conductive "cup" to stabilize the arc and an insulated coating to prevent overheading of electrode

Application

For arc cutting, grooving, and piercing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as back gouging weld preparations for a wide range of repair and maintenance applications
For gouging any faulty weld metal deposit without the need for special cutting and grinding tools
Cutting holes into piping for subsequent welding of branches and connections
Effective in cutting, piercing, and gouging metals tha tare difficult to machine

Remarks

The speed of metal arc cutting is dependent on the diameter of the electrode, current, and the plate thickness

No oxygen is required

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.
