Product Introduction

 

Characteristic Category Detailed Parameters
Chemical Composition (mass fraction, %) - Carbon (C): Standard upper limit ≤0.12; typical measured values 0.067-0.095 (reduces cold cracking risk and ensures weldability).
- Manganese (Mn): Standard range 0.3-0.6; typical measured values 0.54-0.58 (strengthens the matrix and improves toughness).
- Silicon (Si): Standard upper limit ≤0.35; typical measured values 0.22-0.28 (acts as a deoxidizer and enhances molten pool fluidity).
- Sulfur (S): Standard upper limit ≤0.035; typical measured values ≤0.015 (strictly controlled to reduce hot cracking).
- Phosphorus (P): Standard upper limit ≤0.04; typical measured values ≤0.018 (reduces low-temperature brittleness risk).
- Other impurities: Copper (Cu) ≤0.30, Nickel (Ni) ≤0.30, Chromium (Cr) ≤0.20, Molybdenum (Mo) ≤0.10 (all residual elements; total content ≤0.5%).
Mechanical Properties - Tensile strength: Standard requirement 400-560 MPa (58,000-81,200 psi); typical measured values 480-520 MPa (69,600-75,400 psi).
- Yield strength: Standard requirement ≥306 MPa (44,400 psi); typical measured values 410-450 MPa (59,500-65,300 psi).
- Elongation (50mm gauge length): Standard requirement ≥22%; typical measured values 27%-30% (exhibits good ductility, reducing welding stress cracking).
- Impact energy (V-notch): Standard requirement ≥27 J at -30°C; typical measured values 28-35 J at -30°C, and 40-50 J at -20°C (ensures low-temperature toughness for cold-environment operations).
Physical Characteristics - Brinell hardness (HBW): Typical value 140-160 (relatively soft, facilitating subsequent processing such as grinding and cutting).
- Melting point range: 1480-1520°C (close to low-carbon steel base metal, reducing fusion zone embrittlement).
- Density: 7.8-7.85 g/cm³ (consistent with steel base metal, avoiding stress concentration due to density differences after welding).
- Coefficient of linear expansion: 11.5-12.0 × 10⁻⁶/°C (20-100°C), matching low-carbon steel to minimize welding deformation.
Deposition Efficiency & Weld Formation - Deposition efficiency: 53%-63% (for 4.0mm diameter electrodes; 0.53-0.63kg of deposited metal can be obtained from 1kg of electrodes).
- Weld formation: Reinforcement height 2-4mm (flat welding), weld bead width-to-depth ratio 1.5-2.0, surface with fine fish-scale patterns, free of defects such as pores and slag inclusions (compliant with AWS D1.1 appearance acceptance standards).
Standard Basis Primarily complies with the requirements for E6013 deposited metal in AWS A5.1 Specification for Carbon Steel Electrodes for Shielded Metal Arc Welding, and also meets corresponding indicators in GB/T 5117 (E4313) and EN ISO 2560-A (E 35 0 RA 12). Verification can be conducted by third-party testing institutions (e.g., SGS, TÜV).
