Classifications
AWS A5.5 E8018-B2 H4
EN ISO 3580-A E CrMo1 B 4 2 H5
Characteristics and typical fields of application:
Basic coated, core wire alloyed low hydrogen electrode for 1% Cr 0.5% Mo alloyed boiler, plate, and tube steels. Approved in long-term condition up to +570°C service temperature. Fully alloyed core wire which will provide reliable creep rupture properties for the whole service life of a boiler plant. High ductility and crack resistance. The weld metal deposit is heat treatable. Very low hydrogen content (acc. AWS condition HD < 4 ml/100 g). Metal recovery approximately 115%. Suitable for step-cooling application. Post-weld tempering at 660 – 700°C followed by cooling in furnace down to 300°C and still air.
