| Applications | Welding of aluminum-killed steel and 2.5%Ni steel used for machinery and equipments  for low temperature.  | 
				
|---|---|
| Characteristics | 1. LN-218 is an low hydrogen, iron powder type electrode for aluminum-killed steel and 2.5%Ni steel used for machinery and equipments for -60℃ temperature. 2. LN-218 also provides good X-ray soundness and good usability.  | 
				
| Notes on usage | 1. Pay attention not to exceed heat-input because excessive heat-input causes deterioration of  impact values of weld metal. 2. Redry the electrodes at 350-400℃ for one hour prior to 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.  |
