About F C-Mo Low Alloy Steels Electrode
F C-Mo Low Alloy Steels Electrode is a high quality electrode used for joining high tensile steels and manganese molybdenum steels. This is made under the guidance and supervision of experts at our unit using premium grade raw material and technologically advanced machinery at our unit in compliance with the set industrial norms and standards.
Outstanding Mechanical PropertiesThis electrode delivers a minimum tensile strength of 620 MPa and yield strength of 520 MPa. The impact value (Charpy V-Notch) of 47 J at -30C ensures toughness for applications exposed to low temperatures and demanding service conditions, such as petrochemical and pressure vessels.
User-Friendly Welding PerformanceSuitable for all welding positions and adaptable to AC or DC currents, the F C-Mo Low Alloy Steel Electrode boasts excellent arc stability with low spatter, smooth operation, and easy, self-releasing slag removal. Its rutile-based coating resists moisture, facilitating seamless welding in various field conditions.
Quality and Shelf Life AssurancePackaged in vacuum-sealed, moisture-proof 5 kg boxes, the electrode preserves optimum quality for up to 12 months. Proper storage below 30C is recommended. This ensures consistent performance from the manufacturing date and reduces the risk of weld defects caused by moisture absorption.
FAQ's of F C-Mo Low Alloy Steels Electrode:
Q: How should F C-Mo Low Alloy Steels Electrode be stored to prevent moisture absorption?
A: Store the electrode in a cool, dry place with the temperature below 30C. The vacuum-sealed, moisture-proof packaging further safeguards against humidity. Proper storage helps maintain arc stability and avoids weld defects related to moisture.
Q: What welding positions are suitable for this electrode?
A: F C-Mo Low Alloy Steels Electrode is engineered for all welding positions, including flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead. This flexibility allows users to tackle complex fabrication tasks across various industries.
Q: When is post weld heat treatment recommended for this electrode?
A: Post weld heat treatment is advisable for critical applications, such as pressure vessels or boilers, to enhance weld integrity and relieve residual stresses, especially when service conditions involve high pressure or temperature.
Q: Where can this electrode be used effectively?
A: The electrode is ideal for welding carbon-molybdenum alloy steels in petrochemical equipment, boilers, and pressure vessels operating in service temperatures up to 600C, delivering durable welds even in demanding environments.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a rutile-based, moisture-resistant coating?
A: Rutile-based, moisture-resistant coating provides excellent arc stability, low spatter, and easy slag removal. It ensures reliable weld quality in humid or challenging field conditions, reducing preparation time and cleanup.
Q: How is slag removal managed while welding with this electrode?
A: The electrode is designed for easy, self-releasing slag removal. After welding, the slag typically detaches smoothly without excessive chipping, making the post-weld process more efficient and reducing surface defects.
Q: What are the available diameters and how do I choose the right one?
A: Available diameters include 2.5 mm, 3.2 mm, 4.0 mm, and 5.0 mm. Choose based on material thickness and the required deposition rate-the larger diameters are typically suited for thicker sections or higher welding currents.
