Select EH11KS

Carbon Steel / Metal Cored / Flux Shielded

Resources

Features

  • Intended for single and multiple pass welding where a minimum 70 ksi tensile strength is required in stress-relieved conditions.
  • Produces a weld deposit chemistry similar to EH11K solid wire electrodes, with high levels of Mn and Si for deoxidizing.
  • Higher deposition rates than solid wire when run at the same current level.
  • Capable of running directly over root passes with proper procedure – eliminating requirement for a hot pass.
  • Easy slag removal – reduces post weld cleanup time.
  • ARCFLUX BF-10MW is the recommended flux, although other neutral fluxes may be used in place of this.
