CVN toughness down to -40 C as well as a low hydrogen
content of max. 5 ml/100 g in the weld metal. For wall thick-
nesses of 8 mm or more, a 3.2 mm electrode diameter can
be used for root pass welding. The shorter depositing times
that can thereby be achieved as well as the longer bead
lengths per electrode result in considerable cost savings as

An essential requirement for successful application of the high-
strength, fine-grained constructional steels is a weldable and
appropriately stress-bearing construction.
Appropriate temperature control should be used.

Based on experience, this is most easily achieved with
manual arc welding, inert gas welding or sub-arc welding.
For a high-strength weld joint, criteria for maintaining the
mechanical properties or for avoiding cold cracks are
primarily to be considered.
In the interest of preventing cold cracking, only those welding

consumables should be used which, as compared to the base
metal, do not result in an unnecessarily high strength and do
have a sufficiently low hydrogen content in the weld metal.
