| Applications | Welding of 55kgf/mm2 class high tensile strength steel for ships, bridges, buildings and boilers.  | 
				
|---|---|
| Characteristics | LC-418 is an iron powder low hydrogen type electrode, and provides good usability with direct current applications in all-position. The weld metal has good crack resistibility and X-ray soundness. Also it is suitable for multi-layer fillet welding in large leg length.  | 
				
| Notes on usage | (1) Dry the electrodes at 350~400℃ for about one hour before use. (2) Adopt backstep method or strike the arc on a small steel plate prepared for this particular purpose to prevent blowholes at the arc starting. (3) Keep the arc as short as possible.  |
