Classification

AWS class	E 8018 -C3 H4
EN ISO class	E 46 6 1 Ni B 42 H5

Purpose

Nickel-alloyed, low-hydrogen basic electrode, the first step of the enhanced low-temperature-toughness FERVEO HTS 460B6 Ni/2Ni/3Ni sub-family (AWS E 8018-C3 H4, EN ISO E 46 6 1 Ni B 42 H5).

Why it works

This sub-family's nickel content increases across three steps (this reference, then 2Ni and 3Ni) to extend the guaranteed service temperature further into the cold without changing the mechanical-strength step — this reference is the first and least-alloyed of the three.

Fields of application

Low-alloy, fine-grained steel requiring resistance at low service temperatures.

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

Higher deposit recovery, with the productivity edge that gives in series production.
First step of a sub-family purpose-built for cold service — see 2Ni/3Ni for more temperature margin.

Limitations

For colder service than this reference covers, see FERVEO HTS 460B6 2Ni and 3Ni, with higher nickel content.
