Basic-Coated Electrodes Weight - A0274398+X0010633

MPN: A0274398+X0010633

• BlueShield™ Shielded-metal arc welding provide the best possible weld quality
• Premium low hydrogen electrode for high-strength steels with toughness down to -45°C
• Leader in the Canadian market, the BlueShield line meets high-quality standards
• Easy to use, low spatter, with excellent appearance
• For boiler and pressure vessel work, structural fabrication, pressure piping, maintenance
• The low volume hydrogen diffusion from the weld deposit considerably reduces the tendency to underbead (cold) cracking
• Ideal for boiler and pressure vessel work, structural fabrication, and more
• Allows welding of "difficult-to-weld" steels with less preheat requirements than is required for non-basic type electrodes
• Enables code quality welds (X-ray clear) with proper welding procedures
• Operates with DC current electrode positive or AC
• Allows for stringer bead or weaving technique
• Maintain the shortest arc possible for the best mechanical properties
• Minimize porosity by striking the electrode ahead of the crater of the previously finished weld bead and quickly move back into the crater while reducing the arc length
