Description
  • N-8016-C3 is a nickel-alloyed electrode designed for the welding of 1% Ni steel or high tensile steel with impact requirements at -45°C
  • Weld metal deposit contains 1% Ni resulting in qualified impact value, good X-ray performance, and excellent usability

NOTE:

The information contained or otherwise referenced herein is presented only as “typical” without guarantee or warranty, and Industrial Welding Corporation expressly disclaims any liability incurred from any reliance thereon. Typical data and test results for mechanical properties, deposit, or electrode composition and other properties were obtained from a weld produced and tested according to prescribed standards and should not be assumed to be the expected results in a particular application or weldment. Actual results will vary depending on many factors, including, but not limited to, weld procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design, and fabrication methods. Users are cautioned to confirm by qualification testing, or other appropriate means, the suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in the intended application.

  • For welding of line pipes in the field at low temperatures
  • Preheat at 50-100°C and postheat at 600-620°C
  • Dry the electrodes at 350-400°C for about one hour before use
  • Adopt back step method or strike the arc on a small steel plate to prevent blowholes at the arc starting
  • Keep the arc as short as possible
  • Pay attention not to exceed proper heat input as this causes deterioration of impact values of weld metal
