BLUME® E8016-G Datasheet

Q: What type of steel is BLUME® E8016-G suited for?
A: It’s designed for low-alloy and high-strength steels, especially where weld integrity and low hydrogen levels are critical.

Q: Can BLUME® E8016-G be used for vertical or overhead welding?
A: Absolutely. Its controlled slag system and stable arc make it excellent for all-position welding.

Q: What’s the main difference between BLUME® E8016-G and E8015-G?
A: E8016-G has a titania-based coating, providing a smoother arc and easier slag removal, while E8015-G’s sodium-based coating offers deeper penetration and higher travel speeds.

Q: Does BLUME® E8016-G maintain toughness at low temperatures?
A: Yes — it maintains high impact strength and ductility even in sub-zero conditions.

Q: How should I store and handle BLUME® E8016-G electrodes?
A: Keep them dry and sealed before use. If exposed to moisture, rebake at 650°F (340°C) for 1 hour to restore performance.
