AWS E6016

Mild Steel Electrodes

Description: E6016 is of carbon steel electrodes with low hydrogen potassium type coating .The weld mental has superior mechanical properties and high crack resistant properties It can be welded on both AC and DC. Welding can be done in all position. When used AC, the stability is inferior a little to that used DC.
Application: Used to weld the important low carbon steel structure and low alloy steel structure, such as 09Mn2 etc.

Note:
　　　Before welding, it is necessary to clean the work piece and remove the impurities such as oil ,grease rust and moisture, bake the electrode at the temperature of about 300 degree centigrade for one hour. The welding must be carried out under short arc and is suitable for narrow path.
