Bohler AWS:E9018-G Fox BVD 90 (Basic Vertical Down) Pipeline Steel Stick Electrodes
The Bohler BVD 90 low alloy, basic coated stick electrodes specifically engineered for high efficiency vertical down fill & cap passes in high strength pipeline construction.
Features
-
Optimised strictly for vertical-down progression.
-
Very low diffusible hydrogen (H₄), minimising the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking.
- Delivers high toughness, crack resistance, and strength suited for X80/90 grade
- pipeline steels.
-
Offers an 80% to 100% higher deposition rate compared to standard vertical-up welding techniques
-
Designed for exceptional arc striking and re-striking to prevent start porosity on cover passes
