CHE555GX

Vertical-down Low Alloy Steel Covered Welding Rod for Pipelines

AWS A5.5 E8010-P1

BS EN ISO 2560-B-E 55 10-N1 A

GBT/5117 E5510-G

Type of Covering: High cellulose, sodium

Welding Position: F, H, HF, OH, V, VD
Type of Current: DCEP

Features & Applications

Mainly be used for backing welding of substrate, root passes, filler and cosmetic welding low
alloy steel pipelines, which tensile strength required higher. It can be used in sour gas
pipelines and similar structures. It could be fashioned by one-side welding with back
formation.

Notice: 1) Good condition of packaging and storage for it is important.

2) Normally it does not need to re-dry. When it is damped seriously re-bake it at
temperature of 70℃-90℃ for 1 hour before welding.
3) The surfaces to be welded must be cleaned away impurities of oil contamination,
rust, moisture and so on.
4) Smaller current are recommended and weave beads no wider than 2.5 times of
the diameter of the core rod is better.
