Description and Applications

HX-7 is a high iron oxide powder type electrode for flat and horizontal fillet welding. High welding efficiency is obtained when it is used in combination with a gravity welder.

For welding of mild steels for ships, buildings, bridges, and machinery.

 
Guideline in Usage
1.

Electrodes should be re-dried at 70120℃ for one hour before use

2. Optimum welding current differs depending on plate thickness. It is necessary to observe slag movements and adjust the current
3. Optimum bead length/burned up electrode length ratio is 0.9∼1.6 for manual welding, and 1.0∼1.6 for gravity welding.
