Characteristics | LCW-418 is an all position iron powder low hydrogen type electrode which exhibites high crack resistibility and superior notch toughness of depositing weld metal. It is suitable for welding comparatively thick plates of weather proof steel. The mechanical properties of the weld metal is good. |
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. |
