Dry the electrodes at 350-400\u00b0C for 60 minutes before use.<br \/>\n2. Take the back-step method at the arc starting to prevent blowholes.<br \/>\n3. Keep the arc as short as possible.<br \/>\n4. While applying in plate with high restraint (such as the plates is thicker than 25mm) ,preheat at 80-100\u00b0C is recommended.<br \/>\n5. Do not exceed the range of recommended because over heat input might decrease the impact value.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>\u25b6\ufe0e\u00a0<strong>Classification:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>AWS A5.5 E8018-W2<br \/>\nJIS Z3214 DA5016W<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>\u25b6\ufe0e\u00a0<strong>Welding position:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/linkweldthailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Welding-Position-01-scaled-e1774235782212.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"729\" height=\"139\" \/ class=\"cbio-above-fold\"><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>\u25b6\ufe0e\u00a0<strong>Typical chemical composition of weld metal (wt%)<\/strong><\/h5>\n<table style=\"width: 700px;\" width=\"700\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"87\"><strong>C<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"87\"><strong>Mn<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"87\"><strong>Si<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"87\"><strong>P<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"87\"><strong>S<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"87\"><strong>Cu<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"87\"><strong>Ni<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"87\"><strong>Cr<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">0.05<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">0.7<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">0.42<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">0.02<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">0.006<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">0.6<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">0.7<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">0.52<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>\u25b6\ufe0e\u00a0<strong>Typical mechanical properties of weld metal<\/strong><\/h5>\n<table style=\"width: 700px;\" width=\"700\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"87\"><strong>YP N\/mm\u00b2<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"87\"><strong>TS N\/mm\u00b2<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"87\"><strong>EL %<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"87\"><strong>IV -20\u00b0C J<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">510<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">600<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">26<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">132<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>\u25b6\ufe0e\u00a0<strong>Sizes and recommended current range (AC or DC+)<\/strong><\/h5>\n<table style=\"width: 700px;\" width=\"700\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 148px;
