SMAW ELECTRODE FOR HIGH STRENTH LOW ALLOY STEEL

[vks1986]

Any suggested smaw electrode instead of E8018G,E9018G and E7018G for high strenth low alloy steel such as Api 5l X52 to X70.
considering low hydrogen,good strength and toughness of weld metal

E7010, E8010,and E9010 are used regularly on high strength API pipe.

I would add you had better specify a low hydrogen designator, like H4, for high strength low alloy steel welding.
