Product Details
BlueShield™ Shielded-metal arc welding provide the best possible weld quality
Premium low hydrogen electrode for high-strength steels with toughness down to -45°C
Leader in the Canadian market, the BlueShield line meets high-quality standards
Easy to use, low spatter, with excellent appearance
For boiler and pressure vessel work, structural fabrication, pressure piping, maintenance
The low volume hydrogen diffusion from the weld deposit considerably reduces the tendency to underbead (cold) cracking
Ideal for boiler and pressure vessel work, structural fabrication, and more
Allows welding of ""difficult-to-weld"" steels with less preheat requirements than is required for non-basic type electrodes
Enables code quality welds (X-ray clear) with proper welding procedures
Operates with DC current electrode positive or AC
Allows for stringer bead or weaving technique
Maintain the shortest arc possible for the best mechanical properties
Minimize porosity by striking the electrode ahead of the crater of the previously finished weld bead and quickly move back into the crater while reducing the arc length
