ELECTRODE, 2.5MM, 16TC 2.5KG

Description Smooth running, basic low hydrogen electrode, developed for all positional (except vertical down) welding, using AC or DC power sources. It has exceptional arc stability and weldability and delivers high quality weld deposits with reliable notch toughness to -40˚C. Austarc 16TC is manufactured using a unique twin coating extrusion process, which means all the arc stabilising elements are concentrated in the inner coating. This delivers significantly improved arc stability and control for all applications. Features: Basic/Twin Coated (TC) Manual Arc Electrode Versatile/All Positional (Especially Vertical Up) Capabilities Reliable, Low Temperature Impact Toughness Easy to Strike and Re-Strike Smooth Performance on Low OCV AC Welding Machines Applications: Sub Zero Temperature Applications Structural Steel Single Sided Weld Joints Pipe Welding Maintenance Applications Highly Restrained Joints Buffer Layer Prior to Hard Surfacing Build-Up Identification: Coating – Light Grey Tip – Bronze Imprint: WIA 4916A Classification: AS/NZS 4855-B – E49 16-A U H10 AWS A5.1: E7016 H8 Specifications: Electrode Size: 2.5mm Electrode Length: 300mm Welding Current Range: 60 – 90A Yeild Stress: 460MPa Tensile Strength: 560 MPa Elongation: 28% CVN Impact Values: 130J @ -20°C, 110J @ -40°C Packet Weight: 2.5kg Approx No. of Rods per kg: 60 Materials to be Welded: Structural Steel AS 1163 C250, C350, C450 AS 1397 G250, G300, G350, G450 AS 1450 C/H200, C/H250, C/H350, C/H450 AS/NZS 3679.1 250, 300, 350, 400 AS/NZS 3678.1 & AS/NZS3679.2 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, A1006, XK1016, WR350 Pressure Equipment Steel AS 1548 7-430, 7-460, 5-590, 7-490 Fine Grain Steel AS/NZS 1594 HAI, HA3, HA4N, HA200, HA250, HA300, HA1006, HA1010, HA1016, HA350, HA400 Cast Steel AS/NZS 1594 HAI, HA3, HA4N, HA200, HA250, HA300, HA1006, HA1010, HA1016, HA350, HA400 Pipe Material API 5LX X42, X46, X52, X60
