Detail :
JIS D5016
AWS A5.1 E7018
Steel type: Mild steel/High tensile steel    
Process type: SMAW
For welding of 490N/mm2 high tensile steel.
Applications:
Shielded metal arc welding of mild and 490N/mm2 high tensile steels of ships, bridges, buildings and pressure vessels.
Characteristics on usage:
LB-52-18 is an iron powder low hydrogen type covered electrode for all-position welding.
The mechanical properties of the weld metal are the same as LB-52.
Its. Usability by direct current is the best among low hydrogen type electrodes.
Notes on usage:
(1) Dry the electrodes at 300-350ºC for 30-60 minutes before use.
(2) Take the backstep method or strike the arc on a small steel plate prepared for this particular purpose to prevent blowholes at the arc starting.
(3) Keep the arc as short as possible.
