KN-816C2
Type of coating: Low hydrogen type
It is suitable for welding 540N/mm2 grade steel for low temperature resistance
It is ideal for welding in LNG storage tanks or 3.5%Ni steel for low temperature resistance

Classification


Application and Features 

• It is suitable for welding 540N/mm2 grade steel for low temperature resistance.
• It provides superior weldability, stable arc and good slag removal
• Weld metal contains 3%Ni-0.25%Mo and good impact properties at -60°C.
• It is ideal for welding in LNG storage tanks or 3.5%Ni steel for low temperature resistance

Welding Position


Welding Instruction

1. Clean up the contaminations on the steel
2. Dry the electrodes at 350~400°C for 60 minutes before welding
3. Keep arc as short as possible. Take the back step method to prevent porosity at arc start and re-start. (Please refer to Appendix A)
4. High heat input will lower the impact value. Please carefully select the welding current
5. The preheat temperature for thick plate is 50~100°C

Application
- It is ideal for welding in LNG storage tanks or 3.5%Ni steel for low temperature resistance
