AWS class

E 8018 -W2 H4

EN ISO class

E 46 6 Z NiCrCu B 42 H5

Tensile strength (Rm)

550–680 MPa

Classification

AWS class	E 8018 -W2 H4
EN ISO class	E 46 6 Z NiCrCu B 42 H5

Purpose

Ni-Cu-Cr low-hydrogen basic electrode, one step up in mechanical strength and toughness from FERVEO HTS 420B3, for weathering steel (AWS E 8018-W2 H4, EN ISO E 46 6 Z NiCrCu B 42 H5).

Why it works

Same Ni-Cu-Cr alloying principle as FERVEO HTS 420B3 to match weathering steel's corrosion behavior, with a richer alloy content that steps up mechanical strength and certifies toughness at a more demanding temperature.

Fields of application

Weathering-steel structures (COR-TEN A/B/C, Patinax) with higher mechanical demands than those covered by FERVEO HTS 420B3.
