LH 81A1S

High-temperature basic electrode

Product description

Basic low-hydrogen molybdenum electrode for welding steels that have to withstand higher service temperatures than standard C-Mn steels (up to 500°C). Good resistance to hydrogen attack (chemical installations).

Pipes, boilers, etc. Smooth melting, easy slag removal and attractive bead appearance.
