FAQ
FAQ
Q: What metals can BLUME® E8015-G be used on?
A: It’s designed for low-alloy, high-strength steels, making it ideal for critical structural and pressure applications.
Q: Can this electrode be used for vertical and overhead welding?
A: Yes. BLUME® E8015-G performs exceptionally well in all positions, maintaining consistent bead shape and penetration.
Q: What makes BLUME® E8015-G different from E8018-G?
A: E8015-G uses a sodium-based coating that provides deeper penetration and faster travel speeds, while E8018-G’s iron-powder coating offers higher deposition rates and a slightly softer arc.
Q: Does it perform well in cold-weather or low-temperature environments?
A: Yes — its low-hydrogen formulation and high nickel/toughness chemistry ensure strong weld integrity even at sub-zero temperatures.
Q: What storage and rebaking conditions are recommended?
A: Store in a dry, temperature-controlled area. If moisture exposure occurs, rebake at 650°F (340°C) for one hour before use.
