Description:

P 48M is a basic coated low hydrogen DC+ electrode designed for welding mild and higher strength

steels. It is particularly suitable for heavily restrained sections and also steels with higher impurity

levels. The electrode operates with a very smooth and stable arc and shows no tendency to ''freeze'',

even on low current.

Root passes can be welded with DC-.

P 48M has very good fracture toughness at temperatures down to -50 °C.
