Characteristics | LPA-100 is an all-position extra low hydrogen type electrode for aluminum-killed steel to be used at low temperature. The weld metal contains about 1.6%Ni. Notch toughness of weld metal at low temperature (-40 ~ -50℃) is stable and good. |
Notes on usage | (1) Pay attention not to exceed proper heat-input because excessive causes deterioration of impact values of weld metal. (2) Dry the electrode at 350~400℃ for about one hour before use. (3) 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. (4) Keep the arc as short as possible. |
