Prices for welding electrodes
Type of coverage
Basic. (Low-hydrogen B).
Current and polarity
Direct current of reverse polarity (DC +, “plus” on the electrode). Welding is performed in all spatial positions, except vertical “top-down” (for diameters of 3.0 and 4.0 mm welding is possible in a limited ceiling position).
Surfacing coefficient
9.0 – 10.5 g/ah
Consumption of electrodes
~ 1.6 kg per 1 kg of deposited metal
Application Area. TSL – 17 Welding Electrodes.
For welding structures made of chromium-molybdenum steels of grades 15Kh5M, 12Kh5MA, 15Kh5MFA, operating in aggressive environments at temperatures up to 450°C. Welding in all spatial positions except vertical “top-to-bottom”, with direct current of reverse polarity.
After welding, heat treatment of products is required at a temperature of 750-760°C with a hold of at least 3 hours, followed by cooling to 500°C in the furnace, then cooling in air.
Welding Technique. TSL – 17 Welding Electrodes.
Short arc welding is recommended; preheating and interpass heating of the product to 350-400°C is necessary. If the permissible moisture content in the coating (0.7%) is exceeded, the electrodes must be additionally baked before use at a temperature of 250-300°C for 40-60 minutes.

All covered electrodes are sensitive to moisture absorption. Excessive moisture content in the coating can lead to porosity or hydrogen cracking.
However, if the climatic storage conditions meet the following requirements, moisture absorption by the electrodes is minimal:
• 5–15°C at a maximum relative humidity of 60%
• 15–25°C at a maximum relative humidity of 50%
• >25°C at a maximum relative humidity of 40%
At lower temperatures, maintaining the storage temperature 10°C above the ambient temperature is sufficient to achieve the required moisture content level. Cold packages must be allowed to warm up to ambient temperature before opening.
At higher temperatures, the required moisture content in the air can be achieved by dehumidification. The shelf life of electrodes under the above conditions shall not exceed three years.
• Covered electrodes with a basic coating and low hydrogen content must be baked prior to each use whenever requirements regarding the content of diffusible hydrogen and/or the soundness of the deposited metal are specified.
• Stainless steel electrodes with a basic coating may produce porosity during welding if the humidity levels during their storage did not meet the requirements. To restore their original properties, they also need to be baked.
• Electrodes for welding carbon steels with a cellulosic or rutile coating typically do not require baking.
• Electrodes that have suffered serious damage due to exposure to moisture cannot be restored by rebaking and must be rejected.
