abrasion  resistant  steel  is  based  on  a  low-alloy

steel  concept,  granting  an  excellent  weldability.  By  this,  the

carbon  equivalents  (CEV/CET)  can  be  kept  low  in  respect

to  the  plate  hardness.  Combined  with  the  excellent  impact

of  the  steel, a  very  high  resistance  to  weld

cracking  can  be  secured.

Important  considerations  when  welding    abrasion

steel  are  as  follows:

•Use  electrodes  of  low  hydrogen  style,  granting  low

hydrogen  pick  up

•Position  the  Weld  in  low  stressed areas

•Use  preheating  if  required  (according  to  recommendations

in  Table  1)

To  obtain  a  proper  weld  quality,  it  is  recommended  to  apply

good  weld  hygiene  by  keeping  the  joint  clean  from  moisture,

oil  and  scale  from  cutting

1 g to  EN  1011).  To  secure

this,  always  perform  bevel  preparation  by  milling  the  edge

and  respect  the  guidelines  given  in  this  manual.
