A basic-coated hydrogen-controlled electrode for high mechanical-property requirements and crack-resistance. Suitable for crack resistant joint welding on higher carbon steels. The double coating provides very stable arc characteristics with excellent all position weldability. Low spatter loss, ready slag detachment and regular bead appearance. COD tested for offshore applications.
