Bohler FOX EV PIPE description: BOHLER FOX EV PIPE is a basic electrode with some additions of rutile and silicates. It is excellent suited for positional welding of root passes using D. C. negative polarity as well as for filler and cover passes of pipes, tubes and plates on D. C. positive polarity, or even AC. It is user friendly and provides a good gap bridging ability together with easy slag removal to ensure minimum grinding. Weld metal toughness is available down to –46C; very low hydrogen content (HD<5ml/100g). BOHLER FOX EV PIPE offers considerable time savings against AWS E 7018 type electrodes when welding root passes due to increased travel speeds. Also the use of dia. 3.2 mm is possible for root passes in case of wall thicknesses of 8 mm and more.
