welding electrode selection

[jagadeesh310]

For IS2062 GR.B plate to plate welding can i use E8012-b2 welding electrode

 

[DVWE]

Yes, it can be done. There is a little extra chromium (~1.25%) and tensile over match with a B2 electrode, but it all depends on the application for which the plate is used.

The devil is in the details; she also wears prada.

Because this is not a low hydrogen electrode preheating will be required to mitigate potential for hydrogen induced cracking.

 

Is that all you need to know about welding Cr-Mo steel?

[weldstan]

The steel grade to be welded is a low carbon steel. There are certainly better alternative electrodes for the purpose.

I like low hydrogen, myself...

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?
