NOTE:

The information contained or otherwise referenced herein is presented only as “typical” without guarantee or warranty, and Industrial Welding Corporation expressly disclaims any liability incurred from any reliance thereon. 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.

  • Primarily used for welding 3% nickel steels intended for low temperature service, such as found in the production or storage of propane and liquid ammonia
  • Commonly used to weld ASTM A8, A203, A333 Gr.3, A334, A352 Gr. LC3, A350 Gr. LF3, and others
  • Dry the electrodes at 350-400°C for about one hour before use
  • Store the electrodes at 100-150°C after drying to keep away from moisture
  • Adopt back step method or strike the arc on a small steel plate to prevent blowholes at the arc starting
  • Keep the arc as short as possible
  • Pre-heat at 100-150°C
