BLUME® E8015-C1 Datasheet

Q: What type of base metals is BLUME® E8015-C1 suitable for?
A: It’s designed for welding 1% Nickel low-alloy steels, commonly used in low-temperature pressure vessels, pipelines, and structural steel applications.

Q: Can it be used for vertical and overhead positions?
A: Yes, BLUME® E8015-C1 performs well in all positions, offering excellent control and bead appearance.

Q: How does it compare to BLUME® E8018-C1?
A: E8015-C1 uses a sodium-type coating and provides deeper penetration and faster travel speeds, while E8018-C1 (iron powder type) delivers a smoother arc and higher deposition rates.

Q: Is it suitable for low-temperature impact-tested welds?
A: Absolutely. It maintains high Charpy impact values even at sub-zero service temperatures.

Q: What storage conditions are recommended?
A: Store in a dry, heated environment and rebake at 650°F (340°C) for one hour before use to maintain low hydrogen levels.
