Characteristics | LCW-400 is a low hydrogen type electrode for all position with satisfactory weldability and X-ray performance. Deposited metal shows excellent crack resistance and mechanical properties. It is suitable for welding comparatively thick plates of weather proof steel. |
Notes on usage | (1) Dry the electrodes at 350~400℃ for about one hour before use. (2) Adopt back step 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. |
