FILARC 76S

FILARC 76S is a CTOD‑tested, all‑position basic AC/DC stick electrode designed for offshore fabrication. It contains up to 1 % nickel and maintains good impact toughness down to –60 °C.

Key Features

• CTOD tested for both AW and SR conditions
• Suitable for all positions, AC/DC operation
• Nickel alloyed (max 1 %) for improved low‑temperature toughness
• Recommended use: short arc, weave slowly when permitted; DC+ for general passes, DC‑ for root passes

Specifications
