Wieldable in all positions except vertical down. Welding technique including arc striking/restricting calls for practical experience for best result. The bead appearance is fine with uniform ripples and the slag is compact, thick and easily detachable.

TYPICAL APPLICATION:
For radiographic quality welding of highly stressed joints in steel structures, heavyduty boilers and pressure vessels, railway wagons, coaches and trailers etc.
•Also for maintenance welding/surfacing of cast steel/fine grained/heat treated steel and wrought steel.
•Excellent for welding of higher carbon and higher sulphur steel which are susceptible to hydrogen induced cracking. •Recommended for welding steels of unknown composition.
