- Tensile strength, MPa 500...640
- Yield strength, MPa ≥ 420
- Elongation, % ≥ 20
- Impact energy KV −50 °C, J ≥ 47
Welding electrodes RS-5 Plasma

Terms of use
- welding should be carried out with a direct current of reverse polarity, (+) on the electrode, without preheating and subsequent heat treatment only on a short length of the arc along the cleaned edges
Special properties
- provide high resistance of the weld metal to the formation of pores during arc extension, allow welding of the root seam of thick-walled pipes with a large gap
- perform welding with a short arc, cleaning the edges before welding
- surfacing coefficient: 0,13…0,16 g/A•min
- consumption of electrodes per 1 kg of deposited metal: 1,4…1,5 кг
For welding elements of heating surfaces of boiler units, a also root layers of seams, joints of thick-walled pipelines with carbon and low-alloy silicon-manganese steels with a temporary resistance of not less than 490 MPa, operating at a temperature up to 400 °C.
