The arc is struck with the electrode perpendicular to the workpiece, after which the electrode is pointed in the direction of travel at an angle of about 15-20C and pushed forward. Gouging speed 100-150 cm/minute depending on the depth of the groove. Deep grooves can be made by repeated gouging. Welding can follow without further preparation, but, when gouging in stainless steel, a thin layer with increased carbon content is obtained and it should be removed by grinding. When using OK 21.03 indoors, it is necessary to have very good ventilation or fume extraction.
OK 21.03 is designed for gouging, cutting and piercing mild and alloyed steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals, with the exception of pure copper, using standard welding equipment. The electrode can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as bevelling, the preparation of cracked areas before welding and the back-gouging of root runs. Welding current AC, DC- OCV 70 V

Packaging
Stick electrodes Rutile and low-hydrogen electrodes are packed in cardboard packs with polyethylene shrink wrapping. They are supplied in units of three or six in outer boxes made of corrugated board (Figures 1 & 2). Stainless electrodes are packed in polyethylene boxes with a re-sealable lid (Figure 3).
VacPacTM
No re-baking no quivers no holding ovens VacPac vacuum packaging eliminates the costly re-baking and handling routines normally associated with the storage of electrodes, by preventing airborne moisture absorption. VacPac is simple and convenient to use, ensuring that the electrodes keep their factory fresh, low-moisture condition until the sealed vacuum is released and the electrodes are used. When stored under conditions in which the sealed VacPac electrodes are not damaged, their shelf life is virtually unlimited. Quality control is simple. The date and time of issue from the warehouse are written on the foil to monitor safe usage within the time limits prescribed for the various electrode types after opening the VacPac. The foil, showing all the necessary product information, is left in place after opening. The VacPac sizing options make it possible to match the number of electrodes to the expected production rate and the electrodes are available as full, half and quarter packs, containing approximately 4, 2.5 and 1kg of electrodes.

Storage and handling
Recommendations for the storage, re-drying and handling of covered electrodes

General information All covered electrodes are sensitive to moisture re-absorption to a greater or lesser degree. Care must be taken during storage and handling to prevent moisture being re-absorbed. Storage Covered electrodes of any type will pick up moisture only very slowly if they are stored in the following climatic conditions: Temperature 5-15C 15-25C above 25C Relative humidity < 60% < 50% < 40%
During the winter, it is possible to have low relative humidity by keeping the temperature in the store room at least 10C above the outdoor temperature. During certain periods in the summer and in a tropical climate, sufficiently low relative humidity can be maintained by air de-humidification. If the electrodes have been stored in a cold place, allow them to reach ambient temperature before breaking the package. Re-drying Low-hydrogen basic electrodes should be redried before use whenever there are application requirements relating to weld metal hydrogen content and/or radiographic soundness (not needed for VacPac.) Acid rutile stainless electrodes and all types of basic electrode may produce pores in the weld if they have not been stored in sufficiently dry conditions. Redrying the electrodes will restore their usability. Mild steel rutile and acid electrodes normally need no redrying. Cellulose electrodes must not be redried. Electrodes which are seriously damaged by moisture can normally not be redried with first class results. These electrodes should be scrapped. Redrying conditions Redrying temperatures and holding times are specified on the label and in the product specification. The redrying temperature is the temperature in the bulk of the electrodes. The redrying time is measured from the point at which the redrying temperature has been reached. Do not stack more than four layers of electrodes in the redrying oven. It is recommended not to redry covered electrodes more than three times.
51
Storage and handling
Holding oven The holding oven is used for intermediate storage to avoid moisture pick-up in the coating of low-hydrogen electrodes and acid rutile stainless electrodes. The electrodes which should be stored in the holding oven are: 1. Electrodes that have been redried. 2. Electrodes that have been removed from their hermetically-sealed container. 3. Electrodes that are considered to be in good condition and are transferred directly from the store room after unpacking. Holding oven temperature: 120-150C. Precautions on site Keep the electrodes in electrically-heated quivers at a minimum temperature of 70C. After work, return the remaining electrodes to the holding oven. Discoloration in the coating If the colour of the electrodes changes during storage, they should be scrapped or the electrode manufacturer should be contacted. Damaged coating Mechanically damaged electrodes on which parts of the coating are missing will not perform correctly and should be scrapped. VacPac Electrodes in VacPac will not pick up any moisture during storage. They require no redrying before use, provided the package is undamaged. This is indicated by a vacuum in the package. Handling VacPac electrodes Protect VacPac from damage at all times. The outer board packaging offers extra protection from mechanical damage to the metal foil. Handle the single inner, metal foil, VacPac with special care. Do not use a knife or any other sharp object to open the outer board packaging. Before using VacPac electrodes Check if the protective foil still contains a vacuum. If the vacuum has been lost, re-dry the electrodes before use. Cut open the protective foil at one end. Do not take out more than one electrode at a time, thereby ensuring that the remaining electrodes are still protected inside the package. Put the top back on the plastic capsule. Discard or re-dry electrodes that have been exposed to the atmosphere in an opened Vac-Pac for more than 12 hours.

General information
Handwelding electrodes
Official approval In addition to the official approval given in this catalogue, many OK electrodes are approved by foreign authorities, railway boards, private companies and so on. Information about the different types of approval is available on request. Tensile properties Unless otherwise stated, tensile properties refer to all weld metal test pieces prepared according to the rules of the classification societies using 4 and 6mm diameter electrodes. Welding current Maximum and minimum values are given. The most suitable welding current depends largely on the size of the workpiece, the welding position and the type of joint. Small workpieces require a lower current, larger workpieces a higher current, depending on the dissipation of heat from the joint. Cold cracking Cold cracking will only occur if the following three factors are present at the same time: 1. Hard phases in the weld, preferably martensite 2. Sufficient stress 3. Hydrogen dissolved in the weld metal Hard phases form when the weld is cooled rapidly from melting temperature to room temperature. Alloying elements, mostly carbon, are forced to dissolve in the weld metal and make it brittle. The following formula describes this process in the case of standard carbon-manganese steel.
E =%C+ %Mn +%(Cr+Mo+V) +%(Ni+Cu) C 6 5 15

Steels with EC=0.35 and below are usually weldable without any problems at normal steel sizes. For the more highly alloyed steels and steels with thicker dimensions, an elevated working temperature is necessary in order to reduce the cooling rate. The elevated temperature also allows the hydrogen to diffuse. To determine elevated working temperatures, please consult BS 5135: 1984 or SS 064025. If the EC dimension of the plates and heat input are known, these standards will state whether heating is necessary and the level at which it should take place. Tension cannot be avoided when welding, as steel expands when heated, although correct planning and heat treatment can reduce tension considerably.
53
General information
Hydrogen forms from water in the surroundings and from the electrode coating. The water is divided into oxygen and hydrogen in the arc and the hydrogen in particular has a strong tendency to dissolve in the weld metal and initiate cold cracking. Conclusion: Dry basic electrodes when there is risk of cold cracking. Labelling The electrode type is clearly marked on the coating of each electrode near the grip end, e.g. OK 48.00.
Choice of suitable electrode

The OK electrodes in this catalogue are placed into groups according to the type of alloy deposited. Within each group of electrodes for welding mild, low-alloy and stainless steels, there are several cases in which many different electrodes are designed for welding the same type of steel. So, for each steel grade, there are often a large number of electrode types to choose from, all of which produce similar weld metal compositions but have different coatings, welding properties, welding speeds and weld metal quality. This large choice makes it possible to choose the electrode which produces the right weld metal quality at the lowest cost. When selecting an electrode, the first rule is to select one which produces a weld metal quality equal to or better than that of the base material and, when necessary, is approved for the material in question. Welding position and type of joint are other factors which influence the choice of electrode, as different electrodes have different properties in different welding positions and types of joint. General information about the influence of coating type on welding properties, welding speed and weld metal quality Rutile electrodes giving about 100% weld metal recovery are easy to strike and use and are particularly suitable for short welds in mild steel, for fillet welds, for welding sheet steels and for bridging large joint gaps. The welds have a fine finish and spatter losses are negligible. The welding speed is moderate. Unalloyed electrodes Unalloyed rutile electrodes are not normally recommended for welding steel with a nominal tensile strength exceeding 440 MPa (45 kp/mm2). Rutile electrodes are relatively insensitive to moisture. High-efficiency rutile electrodes High-efficiency rutile electrodes generally produce a higher welding speed, which increases as the weld metal recovery increases, up to a maximum of about 140 g/minute for 6mm diameter OK Femax 33.80. They are all easy to use, produce excellent slag detachability, fine bead appearance and are particularly suitable for welding horizontal/vertical fillets. The weld metal has
54
General information
tensile properties which are as high as, or somewhat higher than, those of the weld metal from unalloyed basic electrodes but have lower elongation and impact strength. The evenness of the weld and the smooth transition of the base material make joints produced with rutile electrodes at least as good in terms of fatigue strength as unmachined joints produced using basic electrodes. Unalloyed rutile electrodes, irrespective of their efficiency, can be recommended for welding mild steel with a nominal tensile strength of 440 MPa (45 kp/mm2). When it comes to the tensile strength of the deposit, rutile electrodes can also be used for welding steels with a nominal tensile strength of more than 440 MPa (45 kp/mm2), but, as a general rule, only electrodes producing a weld metal with a low hydrogen content, e.g. basic, rutilebasic or zircon-basic electrodes, should be used to weld these steels. Acid electrodes Acid electrodes without iron powder in the covering are easier to strike than basic electrodes but more difficult to strike and re-strike than rutile electrodes. The welding speed is moderate. The weld beads are smooth and shiny. The slag is inflated and easy to remove. The weld metal has a lower yield stress and tensile strength compared with that produced by rutile electrodes, but it has higher elongation and impact strength. This type of electrode, which completely dominated the market a few decades ago, has gradually been replaced by rutile electrodes for welding in the flat position and basic electrodes for positional welding. Unalloyed acid electrodes are suitable for welding steels with a nominal tensile strength of up to 440 MPa (45 kp/mm2). High-efficiency acid electrodes High-efficiency acid electrodes have a considerably higher welding speed than normal electrodes, up to a maximum of about 120 g/min for 6 mm diameter OK Femax 39.50. The beads are smooth and shiny. The slag is inflated and easy to remove. Highefficiency acid electrodes are particularly suitable for making butt joints and fillet welds in the flat position. OK Femax 39.50 in long lengths is suitable for gravity welding with short-neck equipment. The weld metal has the same strength as that produced by normal acid electrodes and the range of applications is therefore similar, i.e. they are suitable for welding mild steels with a nominal tensile strength of no more than 440 MPa (45 kg/mm2). Unalloyed basic electrodes Unalloyed basic electrodes give moderate welding speed in the flat position but are faster than other types when welding vertically upwards. The reason for this is that basic electrodes can be deposited at a higher current in the vertical position than other types of electrode. In addition, the amount of weld metal deposited per electrode is greater than that of other electrodes which can be used in this position. This results in a smaller number of electrode changes. The normal result is therefore a higher fusion rate and higher arctime factor when welding vertically upwards with basic electrodes compared with other types.
55
General information
The slag is normally not quite as easy to remove as the slag from acid or rutile electrodes, but, in spite of this, it can be classed as easily detachable. The slag from basic electrodes has a lower melting point than that from rutile or acid electrodes. The risk of slag inclusions during normal production welding is therefore unusually small when basic electrodes are used, even if the slag is not completely removed between beads during multi-run welding. The weld metal from basic electrodes has a low hydrogen content and usually has good toughness even at low temperatures. Basic electrodes are less likely to produce either hot cracks or cold cracks compared with other types of electrode. The superiority of basic electrodes from this point of view appears when welding manganese alloyed structural steels, pressure-vessel steels and ship's plate with a nominal tensile strength of 490-530 MPa (50-54 kp/mm2). The higher the hardenability of the steel to be welded, the greater the necessity to use basic electrodes and the greater the need for low moisture content in the coating. Zircon-basic, high-efficiency electrodes Zircon-basic, high-efficiency electrodes are the fastest of all and are preferably deposited in the flat position. OK Femax 38.95 deposits a maximum of 250 g/min. with 6 mm diameter electrodes. Zircon-basic, high-efficiency electrodes can be used for welding the same steels as unalloyed basic electrodes. OK Femax 38.65 is suitable for welding butt joints and fillet joints in the horizontal, vertical and flat positions. OK Femax 38.95 is recommended for welding butt joints and fillet joints. Rutile-basic, high-efficiency electrodes Rutile-basic, high-efficiency electrodes combine the good welding properties of rutile electrodes with the high weld metal quality of basic electrodes. They are therefore the best electrodes for performing horizontal-vertical fillet welds in high strength steels, where ordinary rutile, high-efficiency electrodes are not permitted. They can be used for welding the same steels as standard unalloyed basic electrodes or unalloyed zirconbasic, high-efficiency electrodes. OK Femax 38.85 is the fastest low-hydrogen electrode for horizontal fillet welds. Cellulose electrodes Cellulose electrodes are easy to use in all welding positions and are particularly good for vertical and overhead welding. Cellulose electrodes are recommended for allpositional welding where the mechanical properties of the deposit are of the greatest importance and radiographic requirements must be met. Vertical and overhead welding often require an electrode one size larger in comparison to electrodes with other types of coating. Cellulose electrodes are extremely good for vertical-down welding. Higher tensile steel requires preheating and higher interpass temperatures than when the welding is done with low-hydrogen electrodes.

Calculation of electrode consumption In the tables, joint cross section, theoretical joint volume and kg weld metal per metre length of welded joint are given. The electrode consumption per metre of welded joint is obtained by dividing the number of kg of weld metal by N, where N is the kg of weld metal per kg of electrode and is given for each electrode on their respective pages.
