Bohler Fox CEL 85 (Cellulosic) Pipeline Steel Stick Electrodes
The Bohler Fox CEL 85 are premium, cellulose coated stick electrodes specially engineered for high performance vertical down welding of large diameter cross country pipelines. They are highly regarded in the oil and gas infrastructure industries for delivering an intensive, deeply penetrating arc that ensures high productivity compared to traditional vertical-up techniques.
Features
- Optimised for welding hot passes, filler layers, and cover caps.
- Explicitly designed for higher-strength pipeline steels, matching steel grades between L415NB–L485NB and API 5L X56 to X70.
- Engineered for demanding field conditions, guaranteeing reliable, high weld-metal toughness and impact strength down to -40°C.
- Formulated to meet safety parameters for sour gas applications, minimising risk against hydrogen-induced cracking in harsh chemical environments.
- Utilising a high cellulose coating that provides superior arc stability and quick-freezing slag necessary for fast vertical-down joint progression.
