Description:
P 52T is a basic-coated low hydrogen electrode especially designed for tack welding mild and higher
strength steels up to 500 MPa. It produces a flat-to-concave weld deposit exhibiting high ductility
which minimises the risk of cracking in highly restrained joints. The electrode is easy to use in the
vertical -down position, combined with excellent restriking and slag removal characteristics. P 52T
has special slag properties that make it highly suitable for tack welding joints prior to using FCAW.
Applications:
Tack welding structural steels used in general fabrication, ship building, bridge construction and
heavy plant.
