AWS A 5.1:E 7018 | ISO 2560-А-E 42 4 В 42 Н 5 |
PURPOSE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION
Electrodes “GRAU-EB” designed for welding of critical structures and pipelines made of carbon and low alloy steel with tensile strength from 500 MPa to 640 MPa, especially if high hot cracks resistance of welding joints is needed. Are widely used in bridge building, shipbuilding, ship repairing and tanks production. Welding can be performed in all positions.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS
Deposition rate factor – 10,5-11,5 g/А.hr. Electrode consumption per 1kg of deposited metal is 1,58 kg. Nominal capacity to 115%. Electrodes from 2 mm to 4 mm diameter designed for welding in all spatial positions except vertical down, 5 mm diameter electrodes – for horizontal flat, vertical flat, and vertical up positions.

SPECIAL PROPERTIES
Welding electrodes GRAU-EB are characterized by high strength of metal seam, with special metallurgical purity and low content of hydrogen in welded metal. The possibility of welding on alternating current eliminates the effect of magnetic arc blow. Blobby transfer during welding with GRAU-EB provides better stability of arc combustion and metal seam formation. Due to the addition of iron powder in the electrode coating, the efficiency of using GRAU-EB increased by 20%, while:
