Unimate:

Hydrogen controlled, basic coated iron powder type electrode, presence of Mn & Ni in appropriate proportion imparts to weld metal a high degree of low temperature notch toughness. The electrode is thus well suited for welding fine grained steels HSLA steels, used in Penstocks, Bridges, Pressure Vessels, Tanks etc.

UNIMATE represents unique combination of numerous features which every welder and welding engineer look for on shop floor and at erection site.
Ease of operation in all positions.
Smooth and stable arc which is easy to strike & restrike, combined with low spatter and with due control on molten pool.
Slag detachability with little effort.
Finely rippled bead with regular profile.
Welds of consistent X-ray quality.
Weld metal which possesses excellent mechanical properties and displays resistance to cracking caused by heavy stresses and / or hydrogen. In particular, it displays remarkable impact resistance at subzero temperatures down to minus 75°C.
A higher level of metal recovery at 100-110%.
Resistance to moisture pick-up.

Notes on usage:

Redry the electrodes at 300-350°C for one hour, cool them to 100°C and transfer them to a holding oven maintained at 50-60°C.
Minimise heat input and control interpass temperature below 150°C to obtain optimum impact values.
Clean the weld area free of any surface contaminations
