Properties and Applications

Suitable for welding fabrication of dynamically loaded steel contructions,
bridge, shipbuilding, pipe­line, pressure vessels, tanks, boiler and machines
where high tougness is required. Weld metal recovery is appx. 115 %. Smooth
and clean welds merging into base metal without undercuts. Good gap
bridging properties. Welds are of X­ray quality. It is suited for depositing buffer
layers on higher carbon steels.
