The weld metal contains 1.0%Ni. The welding can be done with good X-ray soundness, high deposition rate, and good impact value at -45\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>\u25b6\ufe0e\u00a0<strong>Applications:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It is suitable for the welding of LPG tanks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>\u25b6\ufe0e\u00a0<strong>Notes on Usage:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>1. Dry the electrodes at 300-350\u00b0C for 60 minutes before use.<br \/>\n2. Do not exceed the proper range of current, otherwise the impact value will decrease.<br \/>\n3.
