The ESAB OK 55.00 electrode is a reliable choice for high-strength welding of low-alloy steels, as well as shipbuilding steels in categories A, D, and E. The weld metal is known for its excellent resistance at low temperatures and high toughness against hot cracking, making it suitable for demanding applications.

The electrode's performance has been tested according to standards NACE TM0177 and TM0284, ensuring quality and durability. Its low hydrogen diffusion level (<3 ml/100g) provides protection against cold cracking, while its excellent weld metal behavior enhances the reliability of welds.

• High strength and reliability for high-demand applications.
• Minimal diffusible hydrogen (<3 ml/100g), reducing the risk of cold cracking.
• Resistance to hot cracking, even under adverse conditions.
• Tested according to strict standards NACE TM0177 and TM0284.
• Suitable for shipbuilding steels in categories A, D, and E.

The VacPac electrodes are sealed in multilayer aluminum foil and protected by an internal high-durability plastic box, ensuring moisture protection and allowing unlimited shelf life without the need for specialized storage conditions.

These electrodes are designed for minimal moisture reabsorption, with a safe exposure time of up to 12 hours after opening under normal conditions.

• Absolutely airtight packaging.
• Always fresh and dry electrodes.
• Cost savings through simplified handling and storage.
• Reduced risk of cracks or porosity caused by hydrogen.
• Easy to transport by the welder.
• Custom package sizes for each shift.
