diferrence between E7018.. OK 55 & E7018.. OK 48

[Mahesh Unninarayanan]

Dear all,

Was there any difference in the weld quality if we  use one with E7018.. OK 55 and other with E7018.. OK 48..

Is there any  difference in temperature range for baking and holding  between the above two.. kindly share your information regarding this.

OK 48 is E 7018 and is with Mn up to 1.2% 

The impact strength is 80 J at  -40 C.  UTS  values are app. 540 N/sq.mm.

Works win DCEP, DCEN & AC 90 OCV.

 

OK 55 is E 7018-1 and is with Mn up to 1.5% 

The impact strength is 80 J at  -50 C.   UTS values are app. 590 N/sq.mm.

Works with only DCEP & AC 65 OCV t

U will get the values after a prolonged PWHT.

As U have seen, impact strength is higher in OK 55 and recommended 

where more impact is needed.

The baking temp. weld ability is same except that, u will  end up paying 

bit more for OK 55.There is no necessity to change to OK 55 when not needed.
