Description

BÖHLER FOX BVD 90 Features and Typical Applications

The deposition rate is 80%–100% higher than that of vertical-up welding.

Thanks to its specialized design and development, this electrode offers excellent arc-starting properties and prevents initial porosity. Thanks to these features and its good welding characteristics, this special base-coated electrode is easy to use even under field conditions.

A flux-coated electrode for vertical-down welding of large-diameter pipelines and steel structural work. It is suitable for filler and cap passes in pipeline construction. The weld metal is highly crack-resistant, has high toughness, and very low hydrogen content.
