Basicote A Electrodes For Medium And High Tensile Steels

Owing to our vast experience and knowledge of this domain, we are affianced in exporting, manufacturing and supplying an extensive array of Basicote a Electrodes for Medium and High Tensile Steels for our renowned clients in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Basic low hydrogen (AWS E7018/E7016) electrodes are useful for unlimited plate/section thickness, for tensile strength above 510 N/mA and for critical impact requirements down to - 50A C. The flux covering of these electrodes do not contain sources of potential hydrogen, and are rich in carbonates which give carbon dioxide shielding. The hydrogen content of Basicote electrodes are below 5m./100 gm of Weld metal. The use of damp or improperly dried electrodes may cause porosity. (Hydrogen control is essential to avoid cold cracking.) Operation with AC requires higher OCV and DC operation is optional with electrode positive. Basicote electrodes have easy operability with low spatter and easy slag removal.
