Basic covered electrode for vertical-down welding. Suitable for fill and cap passes in pipeline construction. Deposit is extremely crack resistant, and features high toughness and a very low hydrogen content. Special design and development has enabled this electrode to provide exceptional arc striking characteristics and the avoidance of start porosity. Due to this and the good welding characteristics, this special basic electrode offers easy handling even under field conditions. Deposition rate is 80 - 100 % higher than for vertical up welding.
