ATOM ARC LOW HYDROGEN LOW ALLOY ELECTRODES

ATOM ARC 8018-CM AWS A5.5: E8018-B2H4R

FEATURES TYPICAL MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

Atom Arc 8018-CM electrodes contain 1.25%
Cr and 0.50% Mo as alloy addition. They are
used for the welding of such steels as 0.5%
Cr - 0.5% Mo, 1% Cr - 0.5% Mo, and 1.25% Cr
- 0.5% Mo, which are used principally in power
piping and boiler work for the fabrication of
plates, pipes, tubes, castings, and forgings.
