Bohler Fox CM 5 Kb (Creep Resistant) Low Alloy Steel Stick Electrodes
The Bohler Fox CM5 Kb is a basic‑coated creep‑resistant electrode for 5Cr‑0.5Mo alloyed steels, engineered for long‑term service at +650 °C under pressure and temperature demands. Its low hydrogen content and stable arc reduce cracking risk and ensure clean welds. Metal recovery is approximately 115%.
Features
- Approved for continuous, long-term service conditions in temperatures reaching up to +650 °C.
- Formulated with an ultra-low diffusible hydrogen content (H4 / H5 rating), significantly mitigating the risk of hydrogen-induced or cold cracking.
- Provides excellent metal recovery of approximately 115% for highly productive fill rates.
- Delivers high arc stability and clean bead formation in all positions except vertical down.
- The deposit is highly ductile, crack-resistant, and fully heat-treatable to match standard post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) cycles
