PHiLARC - The No. 1 Choice of Welders

PA-8016-B1

AWS Specification: AWS A5.5 E8016-B1

JIS Specification: NONE

Other Specification: NONE

 

I. APPLICATIONS:

Welding of 0.5% Cr-0.5% Mo steel used for high temperature and high pressure boilers, chemical and oil refining industries.

II. DESCRIPTIONS:

PA-8016-B1 is a low hydrogen type electrode for all-position welding, which provides the weld metal 0.5% Cr-0.5% Mo. The crack is resistibility of the weld metal is excellent.

III. NOTES ON USAGE:

  • Dry the electrodes at 325-375ºC for about one hour before use.

  • Preheat at 125-250ºC and postheat at 620-680ºC.

  • Adopt back step method or strike the arc on a small steel plate prepared for this particular purpose to prevent blowholes at the arc starting.

  • Keep the arc as short as possible.
