Atom Arc 10018-M1 is an all-position low hydrogen electrode specially formulated to meet the more stringent requirements of Military Specification MIL-E-0022200/10.
Atom Arc 10018-M1 is an all-position low hydrogen electrode specially formulated to meet the more stringent requirements of Military Specification MIL-E-0022200/10 for mechanical properties, low coating moisture and diffusible hydrogen content. Hydrogen coupons analyzed by the gas chromatography method typically produce an average of 0.026 ml/g of diffusible hydrogen. The average moisture percent by weight of coating is typically 0.07% H2O when removed from a hermetically sealed can and 0.17% H2O after 9 hours exposure at 80ºF (27ºC) and 80% relative humidity. Atom Arc 10018-M1 electrode is intended for welding high tensile steels, such as HY-80, HSLA-80, A710 and T-1 steel.
