ESAB OK 48.00 Basic steel welding electrode E7018 H4 R 6.0 x 450 mm - 4800604000

Product description

OK 48.00 is a basic, low-hydrogen electrode for welding unalloyed, carbon-manganese and fine-grained steels. The electrode produces tough and crack-resistant weld metal and, thanks to its moisture-resistant coating (H4R), is suitable for structures subject to high loads and critical stress conditions. The stable arc, good penetration and high welding speed during vertical-up welding make OK 48.00 a widely used electrode for demanding applications.

• Basic, low-hydrogen electrode for unalloyed and fine-grained steels
• Classification AWS A5.1 E7018 H4 R / EN ISO 2560-A E 42 4 B 42 H5
• Moisture-resistant coating with very low hydrogen content
• Tough, crack-resistant weld metal with good mechanical properties
• High welding speed for vertical-up welding
• Suitable for structures subject to high tensile loads
• To be used with DC+(-)

OK 48.00 is used for steel structures, bridges, pressure vessels, shipbuilding and other critical structural works where a reliable welded joint with high toughness and a low hydrogen content is required.
