| FEATURES & APPLICATIONS |
Welding of higher strength steel structures that require an appropriate degree of toughness and crack resistance to temperatures as low as -76°F (-60°C).
- Nickel bearing low hydrogen designed for joining low alloy steels requiring high elongation combined with excellent low temperature impact values.
- Phenomenal combination of physical properties.
- Excellent welding characteristics and deposit appearance.
- Extra low moisture content is below .14%.
| All Weld Metal Analysis (Typical Weight %) |
Microstructure: In the as-welded condition, the micro-structure is ferritic with a component of acicular ferrite for optimum toughness.
