Note:

- Welding consumable classifications herein are applicable to weld material

A36 & its equivalent.

- Welding consumable classifications herein, except E 7024 and E6013, are

also applicable to weld high tensile steel, e.g. DIN ST 52-3, ASTM A572-
GR50, DIN/EN S355J2G3 & ASTM A516-GR70.

- Special consideration on high tensile steel material preheating requirement

prior to welding for thickness 50mm & above using process SMAW with low
hydrogen electrodes (E 7018 & E 7028), SAW, GMAW and FCAW.

- Electrode manufacturer’s recommended drying temperature for E 7028 to

fully comply without compromising. Generally, the drying temperature for
fresh electrodes straight from the packing require drying 250 to 300 0C for 30
to 60 minutes prior to use. Holding temperature of 80 to 120 0C in quiver
while in use and the maximum holding period no longer than 4 hours.
