Low Alloy Steel Welding Electrode

J556Fe                                               

GB/T E5518-G

AWS E8018-G                            

Description: J556fe is a low alloy steel electrode with iron powder and low hydrogen coating. Both AC and DC can be used, and can be welded in all positions.

Application: Used for welding medium carbon steel and low alloy steel structures such as Q390.

Chemical composition of weld metal(%):

Mechanical properties of weld metal:

Diffusion hydrogen content of deposited metal: ≤10.0mL/100g (mercury or gas chromatography method)

X-ray inspection:  I grade

Recommended current:

Notice:

1. The electrode must be baked for 1 hour at 350℃ before welding operation;

2. It is essential to clean up rusty, oil scale, water, and impurities on welding parts before welding;

3. Use short arc operation when welding. The narrow welding track is proper.
