Product description

OK 53.16 Spezial is a double-coated, basic, low-hydrogen electrode for welding unalloyed and fine-grained steels. The electrode combines the user-friendly welding characteristics of a rutile electrode with the mechanical performance of a basic electrode. Thanks to its double coating, it is also suitable for welding transformers with a low open-circuit voltage (OCV) and can be used with both AC and DC.

Double-coated basic low-hydrogen electrode
Classification AWS A5.1 E7016 / EN ISO 2560-A E 38 2 B 32 H10
Suitable for unalloyed and fine-grained steels
Good welding properties with a stable arc and minimal spatter
Suitable for AC and DC, even at low open-circuit voltage (min. 50 V OCV)
Good mechanical properties and high radiographic weld quality
VacPac packaging protects the electrodes against moisture absorption

OK 53.16 Spezial is used for structural steel, boiler plate, shipbuilding and other applications where a reliable basic electrode with good welding properties and a low hydrogen content is required. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
