Description

EASYARC™ 7016
AWS A5.1		E7016
Diameter × Length (mm)		2.5 × 350, 3.2 × 350,  4.0 × 400, 5.0 × 400
Package		20kg/Carton

EASYARC™ 7016 is a low-hydrogen type electrode for all-position welding of mild and low alloy steels. The easily controlled arc of EASYARC™ 7016 makes it easy to use on either AC or DC polarity. EASYARC™ 7016 offers excellent mechanical properties and crack resistance. It is also easy to strike and restrike.

ADVANTAGE LINCOLN

• High deposition rates
• Easy slag removal
• Excellent crack resistance and X-ray performance
• Flat or slightly convex beads have distinct ripples with little spatter
• Manufactured under a quality system certified to ISO9001 requirements
• Available in PERMAPACK™ (Vacuum Sealed)

REDRYING

All controlled hydrogen electrodes will perform optimally when they are dry. Unopened Lincoln PERMAPACK's provide excellent protection against moisture pick-up in good storage conditions. Should re-drying be necessary, remove electrodes from the packet / container and spread thinly and evenly on racks in a ventilated oven. For electrodes that have had a short or mild exposure to the atmosphere then re-drying at 572°F(300°C) for 1 hour will be sufficient. For electrodes that have been exposed to longer or more aggressive conditions or for critical work re-drying at 572-662°F (300- 350°C) for 1-2 hours is recommended. After re-drying electrodes should be stored in a hot box.

Typical Application

EASYARC™ 7016 is a multi-purpose electrode with excellent operator appeal. EASYARC™ 7016 can be used for general construction welding applications such as bridges, buildings, ship building and pressure vessels. EASYARC™ 7016 can also be used for the construction or repair of earth moving or farm equipment. EASYARC™ 7016 is excellent for the welding of medium carbon steel, low alloy, and thick plate such as (ASTM A131) Grade A, B, D and E ship plates.

Guidelines for Use

• All water, rust and oil should be completely removed from base material to prevent cracking and blowholes.
• For improved impact properties, avoid use of excessive amperage levels.
• Backstep method should be applied to prevent blowholes and pits during arc start.
• Arc length should be kept as short as possible during welding.
• If weaving is required, the width should not exceed 3x the diameter of the electrode.
