Description
Basic electrode, core wire alloyed, stainless steel. Preferably used for 1.4435 / 316L steel grades.
BÖHLER FOX EAS 4 M is designed to produce high quality weld deposits with reliable toughness
values down to – 196 °C. 100 % X-ray safety together with very good root pass and positional
welding characteristics. Good gap bridging ability, easy weld pool and slag control. Easy
slag removal even in narrow preparations result in clean bead surfaces with minimum post weld
cleaning. Ideal electrode for welding on site. Electrodes are packed in hermetically sealed tins
and have a moisture resistant coating. Resistant to intergranular corrosion up to +400 °C.
