Instructions:

No Rate

All low Hydrogen electrodes should be used from fresh container. If not possible, bake in oven @ 400F for two hours prior to applying for welding.
This procedure is applicable to the above mentioned factors only, any change if made should be notified to Inspection. Contact inspection for any
clarification.
Welding electricity characteristics are as per LINCOLN Spec.
*For constant voltage welding, Voltage will be welding machine specific.

Comments:

Inspection requirements will be communicated at the time of Production / repair of welds.
