COVERED (STICK) ELECTRODES (SMAW) MILD STEEL ELECTRODES This low hydrogen electrode is specially designed for downhill welding circumferential joints in pipes. The low hydrogen weld metal provides high notch toughness and excellent ductility to reduce the risk of cracking. The electrode is used particularly for pipelines, compressor stations, hot tapping and associated work using pipe steels in API 5LX52 to X70 grades in the oil and gas distribution industries, also process piping etc. Productivity is overall 25-30% faster than cellulosic electrodes and 40-50% faster than conventional low...

OK 53.68 is an extra-high quality LMA electrode, particularly suitable for on-site welding. OK 53.68 yields a homogeneous, high-quality weld metal with an extra low content of impurities. The electrode operates well on AC as well as DC positive and negative. DC negative is preferred, as it produces a small, easily controlled weld pool, minimising the risk of burn-through or undercutting. OK 53.68 is CTOD tested.
