EN ISO class
E 46 3 1 Ni C 21
Tensile strength (Rm)

Classification
| AWS class | E 8010-P1 |
|---|---|
| EN ISO class | E 46 3 1 Ni C 21 |
Purpose
- Nickel-alloyed cellulosic electrode, same strength step as FERVEO STL 460C3 Mo via a different alloying route (AWS E 8010-P1, EN ISO E 46 3 1 Ni C 21).
Why it works
Nickel alloying instead of molybdenum reaches the same mechanical-strength step as FERVEO STL 460C3 Mo, with the same deep vertical-down penetration and sour-gas suitability.
Fields of application
- Joining of high-strength low-alloy steel gas and oil pipeline, with sour-gas service applications.

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
- Same strength step and sour-gas suitability as FERVEO STL 460C3 Mo, via a nickel alloying route.
Limitations
- Same mechanical-strength step as FERVEO STL 460C3 Mo — choosing between the two comes down to which AWS classification the qualified WPS calls for.
