WELD METAL 7016 is a basic coated, low-hydrogen electrode, specially designed for welding medium-high tensile steels of grades A, D, and E, as well as any type of cast steel, and specially designed for welding mild steel to cast steel with RADIOGRAPHIC quality weld. It has excellent ductility and notch toughness down to minus 30 °C, which are the greater and more special characteristics of WELD METAL 7016 electrodes. The typical hydrogen content is 5 ml/100 grams to save the weld metal from cracking and provide good strength for the job.
