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.
