Bohler Fox EV Pipe (Basic Vertical Up) Pipeline Steel Stick Electrodes
The Bohler Fox EV Pipe electrodes are specialised basic coated stick electrodes optimised for vertical up positioned welding of cross country pipelines, tubes & heavy structural plates. These pipeline-grade rods feature a unique coating chemistry designed to support faster vertical travel, deep joint penetration, and superior gap bridging.
Features
-
Optimised for vertical-up progression
-
very low hydrogen weld metal content (typically meeting H5 / HD < 5 ml/100g) to prevent hydrogen-induced cracking.
-
Tested and proven for sour gas applications (resistant to HIC and SSCC).
-
Provides excellent notch toughness, high CTOD (Crack Tip Opening Displacement)
-
values at sub-zero temperatures, and reliable gap-bridging capabilities.
-
Offers smooth arc striking, easy slag detachment, and minimal spatter on direct current
-
positive polarity (DC+) or alternating current (AC) depending on the exact pipe grade variant (e.g., FOX EV 60/70 Pipe)
