Stick electrodes ESAB OK 48.00

ESAB OK 48.00 Stick Electrode

Non-alloyed and low-alloyed steels

• All welding positions
• Stable arc
• Highest quality
• Very reliable
• High efficiency and productivity

 

Basic-coated stick electrode applicable in many areas with excellent welding properties for repair and assembly work. Smooth and stable arc. Very low diffusible hydrogen content in the weld metal to reduce the risk of cold cracking. Suitable for all welding positions, except vertical down. Can also be handled by inexperienced welders due to its ease of use. The electrode offers the highest quality from the root pass to the cover pass, unaffected by wall thickness or welding conditions. Excellent weld seam appearance. The electrode reliably offers high
mechanical-technological quality values of the weld metal.

Offers low moisture absorption of the coating.

Pleasant welding behavior, especially for vertical up welds.

General: Civil engineering, energy, industrial and general manufacturing, marine and offshore, light industry
