Classification
| AWS class | E 8018 - G H4 |
|---|---|
| EN ISO class | E 46 6 1Ni B 42 H5 |
Purpose
- Nickel-alloyed, low-hydrogen basic electrode (H4), one step above FERVEO HTS 420B6 (AWS E 8018-G H4, EN ISO E 46 6 1Ni B 42 H5).
Why it works
Same Ni-alloying principle as FERVEO HTS 420B6, tuned for the next mechanical-strength step up — keeps the same low-hydrogen basic coating character and welding-position range.
Fields of application
- Carbon-manganese structural steel and mid-to-high grade API 5L pipe (up to X65), in general construction and equipment fabrication.

Equivalence refers to the classification (AWS / EN ISO), not to product identity. In applications with a qualified procedure (WPS), validate the substitution before use.

Advantages
- One mechanical-strength step above FERVEO HTS 420B6, with the same low-hydrogen discipline (H4).
Limitations
- No published deposit-recovery figure for this reference — see FERVEO HTS 420B6 or 500B3 if that figure is decisive.
- For duty requiring toughness at lower service temperatures, see the FERVEO HTS 460B6 Ni/2Ni/3Ni sub-family.
