Sureweld 716P
Sureweld 716P contains a special lime coating which permits trouble-free welds on “difficult” steels such as high-carbon, alloy, high-sulfur, free-machining and cold-rolled steels. This pipe welding electrode is specially designed for pipe up to API 5LX65.
Features
Sureweld 716P contains a special lime coating which permits trouble-free welds on “difficult” steels such as high-carbon, alloy, high-sulfur, free-machining and cold-rolled steels. The soft arc drive produces a good back bead in the open root and the stable arc will permit optimal deposits in both vertical up and down positions. The bead profile is smooth and slag can be easily removed. Sureweld 716P is designed for pipe up to API 5LX65. High amperages with corresponding high deposition rates make it more economical than conventional types on heavy work.

Extra Info
Procedure
For best results, hold a close arc and use as much heat as the nature of the work permits. Avoid wide weaving and maintain a molten pool at all times during welding. Avoid a cold start by striking the arc slightly ahead of the intended start of the weld, wait for the arc to stabilize, and then bring it back to the desired starting point before progressing forward.
