Applications:
Welding of Heavy Duty structures such as ships, vehicles, buildings and bridges.
Characteristics:
VOLTAWELD V-101 is a ilmenite type electrode designed for putting emphasis on both usability and weldability. It is suitable for butt or fillet welding in all positions for thin or thicker plates (1.6 to 20mm). In horizontal fillet welding, slag covering and bead uniformity are good. Bead Appearance is very beautiful. Its usability is vertical or overhead welding is best among ilmenite type electrodes.
Notes on Usage:
(1) Pay attention not to exceed the range of proper currents. Welding with excessive current not only lowers X-ray soundness, but also causes increase of spatter, under-cut and insufficient slag covering.
(2) Dry the electrodes at 70-100 degrees C for 30-60 minutes before use. Excessive moisture absorption lowers usability and may result in some porosities.
(3) Excessive drying before use causes less in penetration and overheating of the electrode.
