Application Area. UONI 13/65 Welding Electrodes.
UONI 13/65 are electrodes for tasks where high strength characteristics of the welded joint are required:
• Steel structure construction: welding of load-bearing elements of long-span structures, frames of high-rise buildings.
• Mechanical engineering: manufacturing of truck frames, drilling rigs, critical components of mining and heavy equipment.
• Shipbuilding: welding of hull structures.
• Manufacturing of lifting equipment: welding of crane beams, elements of overhead cranes.
• Welding of pipelines and structures operating under high pressure.
Welding Technique. UONI 13/65 Welding Electrodes.
A short arc is mandatory. A long arc leads to oxidation, porosity, and deterioration of mechanical properties. Mandatory baking: Before use, the electrodes require baking to remove moisture from the coating, which is critical for low-hydrogen electrodes.

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.
