AS B-255 is a basic coated electrode.

DETAILS

Weld metal has high impact strength at low temperatures.

As the weld metal is very resistant to hot cracking, it is used particularly to weld rigidly restrained mass structures where high welding stresses are unavoidable.
The slag is easy to remove and it gives very high quality, smooth weld beads.
It has 125 % metal recovery.
AS B-255 is especially suitable for fine grained structural steels having high yield strength values.
It is designed for steel constructions and machines operating under dynamic forces at low temperatures.
Welding of ship's plate of A-, D- and E- quality, boiler and pressure vessel manufacturing and pipe connections are among its application areas.
