						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 
								70∼120℃ 
								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. |
