) )
) SEPARATE DEFENDANT LINCOLN ) ELECTRIC COMPANY'S ) RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFFS' ) REQUESTS FOR ADMISSION TO ) EACH NAMED DEFENDANT )
GENERA I, OBJECTIONS This defendant objects to plaintiffs' Requests for Admissions to Lincoln for the following reasons: 1. Said Requests for Admissions are overly broad, oppressive, unduly burdensome and seek information irrelevant to the subject matter of this litigation which is not likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in that they are not limited to:
(a) Lincoln products to which the plaintiff claims to have been exposed. (b) The time period of each such alleged exposure; and (c) Information concerning the plaintiffs claimed condition. 2. Defendant Lincoln objects to the Requests for Admissions to the extent that they require it to furnish or produce any information or documents subject to the attorney-client and attorney work product privileges.
3. Defendant Lincoln objects to the Requests for Admissions to the extent to which they require it to produce or to furnish any information or documents which are commercially confidential or constitute a trade secret.
4. Defendant Lincoln objects to the Requests for Admissions inasmuch as they are not limited to any specific welding rod to which the husband-plaintiff claims to have been exposed, which would have contained a small amount of encapsulated asbestos. The plaintiffs therefore seek discovery which, if complied with fully, would require Lincoln to provide responses that are speculative or to incur unreasonable time and expense searching for documents relating to products that the plaintiffs have not identified and which could not have been a substantial or proximate cause of any asbestos-related disorder. Based upon discovery conducted to date, the only type of Lincoln welding rod to which the husband-plaintiff claims to have been exposed, which contained a small amount of cationic fiber,1 is the 6011.2 Lincoln will therefore limit its responses to this particular product during the relevant time of husband-plaintiffs alleged exposure.
5. Defendant Lincoln objects to the Requests for Admissions inasmuch as they are not limited to a specific time or, where limited in time, seek the discovery of information concerning matters which transpired several decades before. Lincoln is not now, nor has it ever been, a miner of asbestos fiber or a manufacturer of bulk insulation products and, thus, it has never been a member of the "asbestos industry" as that term is commonly used. Therefore, those types of discovery requests which are directed to traditional types of defendants should not be applicable to Lincoln. Lincoln, therefore, objects to each of the Requests for Admissions as
1 Cationic fiber is a mineral composed of 20% chrysotile asbestos and 80% non-asbestos serpentine mineral. 2 The 6011 welding rod, which contained cationic fiber, was not made after 1965.
2
overly broad, unduly burdensome and oppressive, and as demanding an investigation into matters which are irrelevant and immaterial to these proceedings and which are not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of relevant material or admissible evidence.
6. Defendant Lincoln objects to the use of the terms "asbestos", "asbestos fiber", "asbestiform minerals", "asbestos-containing product", "product containing asbestos" and "product" in connection with any product manufactured or sold by it. At one time, a small amount of asbestos was used by this welding rod manufacturer as a component of the coating or flux on certain manual arc welding electrodes. In the welding rod manufacturing process, this asbestos was mixed with other coating components and bonded with a sodium or potassium silicate solution or binder. In this state, the asbestos fibers are encapsulated into the coating and cannot be released into the atmosphere.
Alternatively, electric welding involves striking an arc between the electrode or the welding rod and the base metal that is being welded. The temperature of the arc greatly exceeds the decomposition of asbestos and the heat of the arc completely destroys the asbestos in the flux coating. Inasmuch as there was no release of respirable fibers to the environment from the rods used, this defendant does not consider that it either manufactured or sold "asbestos-containing products." The plaintiffs' use of any such term incorporates an assumed release of asbestos dust and asbestos fibers in the use of the product. This defendant denies that any such release occurred in the use of its welding rods and objects to the presumptive nature of these types of terms. Therefore, such products could not have played a role in causing husband-plaintiffs alleged condition.

"DEPEND on LINCOLN . . ,
For Maximum Weld Quality and Economy
Since participating in the early development of arc weld ing, Lincoln has always maintained a position of industry leadership. This success is the result of:
Engineering Know-How that has developed a continuing flow of new electrodes to meet the demands of industry for de pendable quality, better properties, higher deposit rates, and faster welding speeds. Lincoln engineers, on the aver age, produce one important stick electrode development per month. Experienced Manufacturing including careful analysis and classification of incoming steel, use of special automatic equipment, and rigid final inspection assure consistent quality and production economy.
Fair Prices: The production efficiencies and purchasing economies generated by concentration on high-voiume products are passed to the customer. As a result, elec trode prices have remained relatively steady over the years despite escalating labor and material costs. You can buy 50 pounds of Fleetwetd 5 for less today than you could have In 1934.
For Fast, Competent Service Trained Direct Technical Representatives located in 60 cities throughout the country are anxious to help you improve
weld quality and reduce costs. They have access to the stock in over 40 district warehouses for prompt volume deliveries. And they are supported by the accumulated experience of our factory research, engineering, and ser vice personnel.
Application Engineering Department in Cleveland establishes special procedures and solves tough customer problems. The practical solutions are obtained by welding actual parts submitted by fabricators through the direct technical representatives.
800 Local Distributors provide a nearby source of welding supplies for fastest delivery. These independent business men are always eager to serve the needs of local shops, contractors, and fabricators.
For Valuable Technical Services
The Lincoln Welding School has graduated about 55,000 weldors since it began serving industry in 1917. In ttia past 30 years over 5,000 designers, technicians, and supervisors have attended a continuing series of engi neering and production seminars. Almost 2 million books have been made available at low cost by Lincoln. Over a halt million copies of The PROCEDURE HANDBOOK are in print.

HOW TO SELECT ELECTRODES
General The recommendations In this bulletin are bated on normal Industry requirements and practices. Because the many variables In welding practices, fabrication, and design affect the results in applying this type information, the serviceability of the welded product or structure is the responsibility of the designer and/or builder.
Code Quality The recommended electrodes will generally meet the re quirements of common government and industry codes. However, you must check the code against the deposit properties and the conformances and approvals of the specific electrode to be sure. If required, be sure the electrode will produce x-ray quality welds.
Mild Steel Welding Most arc welding falls into this category. Almost any
E60XX or E70XX electrode is suitable for most mild steel applications. Selection for best quality and efficient 'pro duction should be based on Joint requirements -- see page 4.
High Strength and Low Alloy Steel Welding
The following tables list electrodes for welding many of the common steels. These recommended electrodes pro vide the needed mechanical properties -- tensile strength, yield strength, ductility, and, when appropriate, notch toughness. In some cases particularly for low temperature steels, the recommended electrodes also approximate the alloy content of the plate to provide similar properties at the service temperatures.
Preheat may be required when welding high strength steels. The amount of preheat needed Increases with thicker plate, rigid joints, and higher carbon and alloy contents.

ELECTRODE SELECTION BASED ON JOINT REQUIREMENTS
Welds on high strength and low alloy steel can often only be made with one or two specific electrodes. See page 2 for selection information.
Full strength welds on mild steel can usually be made with any of a variety of different electrodes. Selection of the best electrode for maximum welding efficiency should be based on joint requirements. Here is a three step method for considering joint requirements:
1. Classify the joint as 'Freeze', 'Fill', `Follow', or a ' combination of these.
2. Choose the electrode group -- 'Fast-Freeze', `FastFill', 'Fill-Freeze' (`Fast-Follow'), or Low Hydrogen (`Fill-Freeze') -- from the information below and the sketches on page 5.
3. Review the electrodes in the appropriate group (pages 6 thru 13) to select the best electrode for the specific application.
`FREEZE' JOINTS Joints welded vertically and overhead are `Freeze' |o(nls. The weld metal must freeze quickly to keep the molten metal from spiling out of the joint.
For 3/16" to 5/8" plate, use `Fast-Freeze' electrodes.
For 5/8" and thicker plate, the 'Fill-Freeze' lowhydrogen electrodes are more economical because deposit rates are
higher and they make v;e!ds with fewer large beads so overall cleaning time is reduced.
FILL' JOINTS Groove, flat and horizontal fillets, and lap welds in plate over 3/16" thick are `Fill' joints. They primarily require 'Fast-Fill' electrodes with high deposit rates to fill the joint in the shortest time.
`Fast-Fill' electrodes only weld level or slightly downhill (15" max.) joints. More steeply inclined `Fill' joints are best welded with `Fill-Freeze' electrodes.
For the required tight (itup, plates are butted tight, a back up strip is used, or a stringer bead Is made with 'FillFreeze' electrodes.
`FOLLOW JOINTS (Sheet Steel) Welding sheet metal under yu`` thick requires electrodes that weld at high travel speeds with minimum skips,.. misses, slag unliupmniit und undorcul.
Fillets and laps in all positions are best welded with EXX12 or EXX13 `FILL-FREEZE' electrodes because they have excellent `FAST-FOLLOW' ability.
Other types of joints are best welded with `FAST-FREEZE' electrodes because they have good 'FOLLOW-FREEZE' ability.

The basic `Fast-Freeze' electrode for DC welding on all "General Applications" listed above.
Similar to Fleetweld 5 with improved arc stability, light slag, and good wash-in for excellent arc control. Particularly valuable for critical out-of-position applications such as pipe welding.
A general `Fast-Freeze' electrode for use with industrial AC welders. Also, it is the best electrode for sheet metal edge, corner and butt welds using straight (DC--) polarity.
An excellent low slag electrode for tack welding, particularly when the joint is to be welded with Innershield. Also used for vertical down welding, makihg stringer beads, bridging gaps, AC pipe welding, and on applications that require an extra-low silicon deposit.
A lightly coated electrode that operates in any position. Recom mended for general purpose shop work with 180 and 225 amp (low open circuit voltage) AC welders.
For Welding High Tensile Pipe
SHIELD-ARC 85 SHIELD-ARC 85P SHIELD-ARC HYP
E7010-A1
Produces a 70,000 psi, Vz% molybdenum deposit. Used for high strength pipe, such as X52 and X56, plus other out-of position work that requires its strength or alloy. Operation is similar to Fleetweld 5.
Similar to Shield-Arc 85, it is designed to eliminate surface pin E701Q-G holes in fill and cover pass welds on high strength pipe.
Specifically made (or vertical down welding all passes on 51 or 5LX pip?, X42, thru X65. It features easy operation, minimum wagon triacks and windows, and almost no tendency lor fill and
cover pass pin holes.
WELDING TECHNIQUES
Polarity . . . Unless otherwise specified, use DC+, reverse polarity, with the ExxlO's and AC with the Exxll's. The Exxl 1 electrodes can be used on DC+ with a current about 10% below normal AC values. Always adjust current for proper arc action and control of the weld puddle.
Flat__ Hold a % " or shorter arc or touch the work lightly with the electrode tip. Move fast enough to stay ahead of the molten pool. Use currents in the middle and higher portion of the range.
Vertical . . . Use Vu" or smaller electrodes. Vertical-down drag techniques are used by pipeliners and for single pass welds on thin steel. Vertical-up is used for most plate welding applications. Make the first vertical-up pass with
either a whipping technique for fillet welds, or a circular
motion for V-butt joints. Apply succeeding passes with a
weave, pausing slightly at the edges to insure penetration
and proper wash-in. Use currents in the lower portion of
the range.
*
Overhead and Horizontal Butt Welds... Use a Vu" or smaller electrode. These welds are best made with a series of stringer beads using a technique similar to those de scribed for first pass vertical-up welds.
Sheet Metal Edge and Butt Welds . . . Use DC--, straight polarity. Hold a y," or longer arc. Move as fast as pos sible while maintaining good fusion. Position the work 45* down-hill for fastest welding. Use currents in the middle of the range.

THE "FAST-FILL" GROUP
for Welding Mild and Alloy Steel
General Applications . . .
Multiple Pan Weld* including fillets and deep groove butts. High Speed Single Pass Welds especially production fil lets and laps.
Flat and Slightly Downhill (15 Max.) positions only.
Medium Carbon Crack Sensitive Steel when low hydrogen electrodes are not available. Preheat may be required.
'Fast-Fill' Characteristics . . . Highest Deposit Rate* of all electrodes. Good Appearance: Smooth, ripple-free beads are flat or slightly convex with negligible spatter. Easy Slag Removal: Heavy slag tends to peel off.
Shallow Penetration: Minimum admixture.
Value of Iron Powder
Use Jatwetd 'Fast-Fill' electrodes lor high deposit rates and last speeds on heavy welds in the Hat position.
High iron powder (50% by weight) in the coating gives `Fast-Fill' electrodes their major advantage of high deposit rates. There are three basic reasons:
1. Welding heat is more efficiently used to melt coating and core wire rather than excess quantities of base metal.
2. The iron powder is added to the deposited weld metal.
3. Optimum currents are higher than with conventional electrodes.
Also the thick coating facilitates use of the drag technique for easy operation, and the heavy slag promotes uniform cooling and a smooth bead with excellent appearance.
Specific Electrode Applications

E7024
Suitable (or the "General Applications" listed above. Recom mended when the primary need is for a smooth running electrode with outstanding operator appeal (slag control, appearance, slag removal, minimum spatter, etc.) combined with fast travel speeds and deposit rales.
E7Q24
Produces the highest deposit rates of all Lincoln stick electrodes.
Recommended for the "General Applications" listed above when the primary need is for high deposit rates, fast travel speeds, and low welding costs combined with excellent operator appeal.
E6027
Used principally for flat deep groove joints primarily when x-ray quality or high notch toughness are required. Excellent wash-in and friable slag provides easy slag removal even in deep grooves.
Used for the same applications as Jetweld 2 when a 70.000 psi
m E702Q-A1 tensile strength, l/z % molybdenum deposit is needed. I
-8-
With the recommended dreg technique, Jetweld electrodes are fast and easy to use. Beads look almost like automatic welds.
WELDING TECHNIQUES
Polarity . . . Use AC tor highest speeds and best operating characteristics. DC can be used, but it promotes arc blow and complicates control of the molten puddle.
Fiat . . . Use a drag technique and deposit stringer beads.
Travel fast enough to stay
ahead of the molten
slag. Optimum currents are 5-10 amps above center of
the range for most jobs. Do not exceed the center of the
range for x-ray quality deposits.
Horizontal Fillets and Laps ... Point the electrode into the joint at an angle of 45* with horizontal and use "Flat" techniques described above. The tip of the electrode must touch both horizontal and vertical members of the joint.

WELDING TECHNIQUES .
Polarity . . . Use DC--, straight polarity, for best perform ance on all applications except when arc blow is a problem. To control arc blow, use AC.
Downhand and Downhill . . . Use stringer beads for the first pass except when poor fit-up requires a slight weave. Use either stringer or weave beads for succeeding passes. Touch the tip of the electrode to the work or hold a V6 " or shorter arc. Move as fast as possible consistent with desired bead size. Use currents in the middle to higher portion of the range.
Electrode Size ... Use Vl6" or smaller sizes for vertical and overhead welding.
Vertical-Down . . . Use stringer beads or a slight weave. A drag technique should be used with Fleetweld 57. Make small beads. Point the electrode up so arc force pushes molten metal back up the joint. Move fast enough
to stay ahead of the molten pool. Use currents in the higher portion of the range.
vertlcal-Up . .. Use a triangular weave. Weld a shelf at the iiottom of the joint and add layer upon layer. Do not whip or take the electrode out of the molten pool. Point the electrode slightly upward so arc force assists in control ling the puddle. Travel slowly enough to maintain the shelf without spilling. Use currents in the lower portion of the range.
Overhead . . . Make stringer beads using a whipping tech nique with a slight circular motion in the crater. Do not weave. Travel fast enough to avoid spilling. Use currents in the lower portion of the'range.
Sheet Metal . . . Weld vertical-down when possible. Move as fast as possible while maintaining a continuous bead. Use currents in the middle to higher portion of the range.

LOW HYDROGEN GROUP
for Welding Mild and Alloy Steel
General Applications . . .
For x-ray quality and excellent mechanical properties.
To resist cracking in medium to high carbon steels, hot short cracking in phosphorus bearing steels, and porosity in sulfur bearing steels.
Thick sections and restrained joints on mild and alloy steel plate when shrinkage stresses tend to cause weld cracking.
Alloy steels that require 70,000 psi tensile strength deposits. See page 14 for 80-110,000 psi steels.
Multiple pass, vertical and overhead welds in mild steel plate.
E7018 Has `Fill-Freeze' Characteristics:
Alt-Position Operation: But quite different from `FastFreeze' electrodes. Weld metal freezes rapidly even though the slag remains relatively fluid. High Deposit Rates consistent with all-position opera tion provided by iron powder in the coating. Appearance: Flat or slightly convex beads have distinct ripples with little spatter. Slag Removal: Moderately heavy slag is easy to remove.
E7028 Has `Fast-FHF Characteristics:
See page 8 for description of these characteristics.
Use low hydrogen electrodes for top quality and excellent crack resistance on thick sections and high tensile, low alloy, high carbon and "problem" steels.
Low Hydrogen Quality
Low hydrogen electrodes produce dense, x-ray quality welds with excellent notch toughness and ductility. I ho low liycliogon content in the deposit reduces the danger of underbead and micro-cracking on high carbon and low alloy steels and on thick weldments. Less preheat is needed than for other electrodes.
\
Hermetically Sealed Containers
All Lincoln low hydrogen electrodes are shipped in hermetically sealed containers which can be stored indefinitely in normal storage conditions without dan ger ol moisture pickup. For best weld quality, use electrodes from freshly opened containers. Storo opened containers and loose electrodes in a warm dry place. II electrodes do pick up moisture, Ihey can be redried.

WELDING TECHNIQUES
Jetweld LH-3800 . . . For a description of welding tech niques for this "Fast-Fill" electrode, see page 9.
Polarity . . . Use DC+, reverse polarity, whenever possible with */jj" and smaller sizes of Jetweld LH-70. Use AC with the larger sizes for best operating characteristics, but DC+ can also be used.
Downhand ... On the first pass, or whenever it is desir
able to reduce admixture with a base metal of poor weld
ability, use low currents. On succeeding passes, use cur
rents that provide best operating characteristics. Drag the
electrode lightly or hold a
or shorter arc. Do not use
a long arc at any time because this type electrode relies
principally on molten slag for shielding. Stringer beads or
small weave passes are preferred to wide weave passes.
When starting a new electrode, strike the arc ahead of the
crater, move back into the crater, and then proceed in the
normal direction. Use higher currents on AC than DC.
Govern travel speed by the desired bead size.
Vertical . . . Weld vertical-up with
and smaller sizes.
Use a triangular weave for heavy single-pass welds. For
multi-pass welds, first deposit a stringer bead using a
slight weave. Deposit additional layers with a side-to-side
weave, hesitating at the sides long enough to fuse out any
small slag pockets and to minimize undercut. Do not use
a whip technique or take the electrode out of the molten
pool. Travel slow enough to maintain the shelf without
causing metal to spill. Use currents in the lower portion
of the range.
Overhead . . . Use %2" and smaller electrodes. Deposit stringer beads using a slight circular motion in the crater. Maintain a short arc. Motions should be slow and delib erate. Move fast enough to avoid spilling weld metal, but do not be alarmed if some slag spills. Use currents in the lower portion of the range.

For 80 to 110,000 psi Tensile Steels
Genera! Applications . . .
All position fabrication and repair welding of the alloy steels that require the epecific mechanical or chemi cal properties of one of these electrodes. For more specific electrode rocornmondalions, see the list of ASTM steels on pages I and 2.
These electrodes have Low Hydrogen 'Fill-Freeze' op erating characteristics similar to Jetweld LH-70.
For high tensile pipe welding electrodes, see page 6.
All Position Operation but quite different from "FastFreeze' electrodes. Weld'metal freezes rapidly even though slag remains relatively fluid.
High Deposit Rates consistent with all-position opera tion provided by iro.n powder iri the coatings.
Appearance: Flat or slightly convex beads have distinct ripples with little -spatter.
Slag Removal: Moderately heavy slag is easy to remove.
Welding Weathering Steel (ASTM A242 or A588) For best color match of multipass welds to the base plate on unpainted structures, use Jet-LH 8018-C3 (1% Ni). Other electrodes suitable for multipass welds on unpainted structures are Jet-LH 8018-C1 (2% Ni) and Jetweld LH-90 (l*/i% Cr, */2% Mo). For single pass welds, multipass welds which are not exposed, and multipass welds which do not require a close color match, Jetweld LH-70 (E7018) may be used.

DEPEND ON LINCOLN . . .
For Maximum Weld Quality and Economy
Since participating in the early development of arc weld ing, Lincoln has always maintained a position of industry leadership. This success is the result of:
Engineering Know-How that has developed a continuing flow of new electrodes to meet the demands of industry for de pendable quality, better properties, higher deposit rates, and faster welding speeds. Lincoln engineers, on the aver age, produce one important stick electrode development per month.
Experienced Manufacturing including careful analysis and classification of incoming steel, use of special automatic equipment, and rigid final inspection assure consistent quality and production economy.
Fair Prices: The production efficiencies and purchasing economies generated by concentration on high-volume products are passed to the customer. As a result, elec trode prices have remained relatively steady over the years despite escalating labor and material costs. You can buy 50 pounds of Fleetweld 5 for less today than you could have In 1934.
For Fast, Competent Service Trained Direct Technical Representatives located in 60 cities throughout the country are anxious to help you improve
weld quality and reduce costs. They have access to the stock in over 40 district warehouses for prompt volume deliveries. And they are supported by the accumulated experience of our factory research, engineering, and ser vice personnel.
Application Engineering Department in Cleveland establishes special procedures and solves tough customer problems. The practical solutions are obtained by welding actual parts submitted by fabricators through the direct technical representatives.
800 Local Distributors provide a nearby source of welding supplies for fastest delivery. These independent business men are always eager to serve the needs of local shops, contractors, and fabricators.
For Valuable Technical Services
The Lincoln Welding School has graduated about 55,000 weldors since it began serving industry in 1917. In the past 30 years over 5,Q00 designers,. technicians, and supervisors have attended a continuing series of engi neering and production seminars. Almost 2 million books have been made available at low cost by Lincoln. Over a half million copies of The PROCEDURE HANDBOOK are" in print.

'General
The serviceability of a product or structure utilizing these suggested electrodes is and must be the sole responsibility of the builder. Many variables beyond the control of The Lincoln Electric Company affect the results obtained in applying this type of information. These variables include, but are not limited to, welding procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design, fabrication methods and service requirements.
Code Quality The suggested electrodes will generally meet the require ments of common government and industry codes. However, you must check the code against the deposit, properties and the conformances and approvals of the specific electrode to be sure. If required, be sure the electrode will produce x-ray quality welds.
Carbon Steel Welding
Almost any E60XX or E70XX electrode can be used for most carbon steel applications. Selection for best quality and efficient production should be based on joint require ments -- see page 4.
High Strength and Low Alloy Steel Welding The following table lists electrodes for welding many of the common steels. These suggestions are based on the needed mechanical properties -- especially tensile and yield strength. Special requirements may necessitate different choices. For a specific weld deposit chemistry, see the alloy contents provided by electrodes with the suf fixes listed under "AWS Numbering System" on page 4.
Preheat may be required when welding high strength steels. The preheat needed increases with thicker plate, rigid joints, and higher carbon and alloy contents.

NOTES: t Almost any E60XX or E70XX electrodes can be used. Select electrode based on joint requirements -- See page 4. Jet-LH 72 Is preferred over LH-70 for most pips and out-of-position welding. Jetweld LH-3S00 can be used in place of LH-70 for flat and horizontal fillets, laps and flat butt welds.
Best electrodes Fleetweld 5, 5P, 35,35LS.
Best electrodes Fleetweld 35. 180, 7, 37. 57. 47. ^
For best color match on unpainted steels wittvenhanced atmospheric corrosion resistance, see page 14.
Fillet welds are frequently made with Jetweld LH-70 or Jet-LH 8013-C3.
For detailed information about specific electrodes, see pages 6 thru 15.
Not recommended for low temperature 'applications.
LH-70* for fillets or 8018-C3 are recommended for gen eral purpose welding these steels. LH-90 can be used, particularly if the weldment is to be precipitation hard ened or high weld strength is required.
Use 8018-Cl when high Impact properties down'to --75* F. are required.

Welds on high strength and low alloy steel can often only be made with one or two specific electrodes. See page 2 for selection information.
Full strength welds on carbon steel can usually be made with any of a variety of different electrodes. Selection of the best electrode for maximum welding efficiency should be based on joint requirements. Here is a three step method for considering joint requirements:
1. Classify the joint as `Freeze', `Fill', `Follow*, or a combination of these.
2. Choose the electrode group -- `Fast-Freeze', `FastFill1, `Fill-Freeze' (`Fast-Follow'), or Low Hydrogen (`Fill-Freeze') -- from the information below and the sketches on page 5.
3. Review the electrodes in the appropriate group (pages 6 -thru 13) to select the best electrode for the specific application.
`FREEZE' JOINTS Joints welded vertically and overhead are `Freeze' joints. The weld metal must freeze quickly to keep the molten metal from spiling out of the joint.
For 3/16" to 5/8" plate, use `Fast-Freeze' electrodes.
For 5/8" and thicker plate, the `Fill-Freeze' low hydrogen electrodes are more economical because deposit rates are
higher and they make welds with fewer large beads sc? overall cleaning time is reduced.
`FILL JOINTS Groove, flat and horizontal fillets, and lap welds in pl3te over 3/16" thick are `Fill' joints. They primarily require `Fast-Fill' electrodes with high deposit rates to fill the joint in the shortest time.
`Fast-Fill''electrodes only weld level or slightly downhill (15* max.) joints. More steeply inclined `Fill' joints are best welded with `Fill-Freeze' electrodes.
For the required tight filup, plates are butted tight, a back up strip is used, or a stringer bead is made with `FillFreeze' electrodes.
`FOLLOW JOINTS (Sheet Steel) Welding sheet, metal under y" thick requires electrodes that weld at high travel speeds with minimum skips, misses, slag entrapment and undercut.
Fillets and laps in all positions are best welded with EXX12 or EXX13 `FILL-FREEZE' electrodes because they have excellent`FAST-FOLLOW'ability.
Other types of joints are best welded with `FAST-FREEZE* electrodes because they have good `FOLLOW-FREEZE' ability.
AWS Numbering System

WELDING TECHNIQUES
Polarity . . . Unless otherwise specified, use DC+. reverse polarity, with the ExxiO's and AC with the Exxll's. The Exxl 1 electrodes can be used on DC+ with a current about 10% below normal AC values. Always adjust current for proper arc action and control of the weld puddle.
either a whipping technique for fillet welds, or a' circular motion for V-butt joints. Apply succeeding passes with a weave, pausing slightly at the edges to insure penetration and proper wash-in. Use currents in the lower portion of the range.
Flat... Hold a V6 " or shorter arc or touch the work lightly with the electrode tip. Move fast enough to stay ahead of the molten pool. Use currents in the middle and higher portion of the range.
Overhead and Horizontal Butt Welds... Use a y" or smaller electrode. These welds are best made with a series of stringer beads using a technique simitar to those de scribed for first pass vertical-up welds.
Vertical.. . . Use y,," or smaller electrodes. Vertical-down drag techniques are used by pipeliners and for single pass . welds on thin steel. Vertical-up is used for most plate welding applications. Make the first vertical-up pass with
.
Sheet Metal Edge and Butt Welds . . . Use DC-- and hold a y" or longer arc. Move as fast as possible while main.taining good fusion. Position the work 45 down-hill for fastest welding. Use currents in' the middfe of the range.

WELDING TECHNIQUES
With the recommended dreg technique. Jetweld electrodes ere fast end easy to use. Beads look almost like automatic welds.
Polarity ... Use AC for highest speeds and best operating characteristics. DC can be used, but it promotes arc blow and complicates control of the molten puddle.
Flat.. . Use a drag technique and deposit stringer beads. Travel fast enough to stay Vi-%" ahead of the molten slag. Optimum currents are 5-10 amps above center of the range for most jobs. Do not exceed the center of the range for x-ray quality deposits.
Horizontal Fillets and laps ... Point the electrode into the joint at an angle of 45* with horizontal and use "Flat'' techniques described above. The tip of the electrode must touch both horizontal and vertical members of the joint.

High Deposit Rates
High fron Powder
for Welding Carbon and tow Alloy Steel
General Applications . . . Multiple Pass Welds including fillets and 'deep groove butts.
High Speed Single Pass Welds especially production fil lets and laps.
`Flat and Slightly Downhill (15 Max.) positions only.
Medium Carbon Crack Sensitive Steel when low hydrogen electrodes are not available. Preheat may be required.
'Fast-Fill' Characteristics . . Highest Deposit Rates of all electrodes.
Good Appearance: Smooth, ripple-free beads are flat or slightly convex with negligible'spatter. Easy Slag Removal: Heavy slag tends to peel off. Shallow Penetration: Minimum admixture.
Vafue of Iron Powder
Use Jetweld 'Fast-Fill' electrodes for high deposit rates and fast speeds on heavy welds in the fiat position.
High iron powder (50% by weight) in the coating gives `Fast-Fill' electrodes their major advantage of high deposit rates. There are three basic reasons:
1. Welding heat is more efficiently used to melt coating and core wire rather than excess quantities of base metal.
2. The iron powder is added to the deposited weld metal.
3. Optimum currents are higher than with conventional
electrodes.
..
Also the thick coating facilitates use of the drag technique for easy operation, and the heavy slag promotes uniform cooling and a smooth bead with excellent appearance.

Replaces E6012 (in the horizontal and slightly downhill position) when excellent bead appearance and easy operation are more important than speed. A maximum of 30* downhill is possible with i/B" and smaller electrode. The maximum downhill angle decreases with the larger sizes. The recommended drag tech nique, soft arc and easy slag removal provide outstanding op erator appeal. AC operation is excellent even with 225 amp (low OCV) welders.
Iron powder in the coating provides the highest deposit rates and fastest speeds of the "Fill-Freeze" electrodes. It is easy to use and has excellent operator appeal. Most frequently used for short, irregular, poorly fit, or downhill "Fast-Fill" joints.

WELDING TECHNIQUES
Polarity . . . Use DC--, straight polarity, for best perform ance on all applications except when arc blow is a problem. To control arc blow, use AC.
Downhand and Downhill . . . Use stringer beads for the first pass except when poor fit-up requires a slight weave. Use either stringer or weave beads for succeeding passes. Touch the tip of the electrode to the work or hold a or shorter arc. Move as fast as possible consistent with desired bead size. Use currents in the middle to higher portion of the range.
Electrode size... Use yu" or smaller sizes for vertical and
overhead welding.
Vertical-Down . . . Use stringer beads or a slight weave. A drag technique should be used with Fleetweld 37. Make small beads. Point the electrode up so arc force pushes molten metal back up the joint. Move fast enough
to stay ahead of the molten'pool. Use currents in the higher portion of the range.
Vertical-Up ... Use a triangular weave. Weld a shelf at the bottom of the joint and add layer upon layer. Do not whip or take the electrode out of the molten pool. Point the electrode slightly upward so arc force assists in control ling the puddle. Travel slowly enough to maintain the shelf without spilling. Use currents in the lower portion of the range.
Overhead ... Make stringer beads using a whipping tech nique with a slight circular motion in the crater. Do not weave. Travel fast enough to avoid spilling. Use currents in the lower portion of the range.
Sheet Metal . . . Weld downhill when possible. Move as fast as possible while maintaining a continuous bead. Use currents in the middle to higher portjon of the range. .

THE LOW HYDROGEN GROUP
for Welding Carbon and Alloy Steel
General Applications . : .
For x-ray .quality and excellent mechanical properties.
To resist cracking in medium to high carbon steels, hot short cracking in phosphorus bearing steels, and porosity in sulfur bearing steels. However,' X-ray qual ity and mechanical properties may be lower.
Thick sections and restrained joints on mild and alloy steel plate when shrinkage stresses tend to cause weld cracking.
Alloy steels that require 70,000 psi tensile strength deposits. See page 14 for 80-110,000 psi steels.
Multiple pass, vertical and overhead welds in carbon steel plate.
E7018 Has `Fill-Freeze' Characteristics:
All-Position Operation: But quite different from `FastFreeze' electrodes. Weld metal freezes' rapidly even though the slag remains relatively fluid. High Deposit Rates consistent with all-position opera tion provided by iron powder in the coating. Appearance: Flat or slightly convex beads have distinct ripples with little spatter. Slag Removal: Moderately heavy slag is easy to remove.
E7028 Has "Fast-Fill' Characteristics:
See page 8 for'description of these characteristics.
Low Hydrogen Quality
Low hydrogen electrodes can produce dense, Yray quality welds with excellent notch toughness and duc tility. The low hydrogen content in the deposit reduces the danger of underbead and micro-cracking on high carbon and low alloy steels and on thick weldments. Less preheat is needed than for other electrodes.
Use tow hydrogen electrodes for best quality end excellent crack resistance on thick sections and high tensile, low alloy, high carbon and "problem" steels.
Hermetically Sealed Containers
All Lincoln low hydrogen electrodes are shipped in hermetically sealed containers which can be stored indefinitely in normal storage conditions without dan ger of moisture pickup. For best weld quality, use electrodes from freshly opened containers. Store opened containers and loose electrodes in a warm dry place, if electrodes do pick up moisture, they can be redried (see bulletin M629).

General
The serviceability of a product or structure utilizing these suggested electrodes is and must be the sole responsibility of the builder/user. Many variables beyond-the control of The Lincoln Electric Company affect the results obtained in applying this type of information. These variables in clude, but are not limited to, welding procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design, fabrication methods and service requirements.
Code Quality
The suggested electrodes will generally meet the require ments of common government and industry codes. However, you must check the code against the deposit properties and the conformances and approvals of the specific electrode to be sure. If required, be sure the electrode will produce x-ray quality welds.
Carbon Steal Welding
Almost any E60XX or E70XX electrode can be used for most carbon steel applications. Selection for best quality and efficient production should be based on joint require ments -- see page 4.
High Strength and Low Alloy Steel Welding
The following table lists electrodes for welding many of the common steels. These suggestions are based on the needed mechanical properties -- especially tensile and yield strength. Special requirements may necessitate different choices. For a specific weld deposit chemistry, see the alloy contents provided by electrodes with the suf fixes listed under "AWS Numbering System" on page 4.
Preheat may he required when welding high strength steels. The preheat needed increases with thicker plate, rigid joints, and higher carbon and alloy contents.

NOTES:
t Almost any E60XX or E70XX electrodes can be used. Select electrode based on Joint requirements -- See page 4.
* Jet-LH 78 and Jetweld LH-75 are preferred over LH70 for most pipe and out-of-position welding. Jetweld LH-3800 can be used in place of LH-70 for flat and horizontal fillets, laps and flat butt welds.
Best electrodes Fleetweld 5P, 35. 35LS.
Best electrodes Fleetweld 35. 180. 7. 37. 57. 47.
For best color match on unpainted steels with enhanced atmospheric corrosion resistance, see page 14.

Fillet welds are frequently made with Jetweld LH-70, Jetweld LH-75, Jet-LH 78 or Jet-LH 8018-C3.
For detailed information about specific electrodes, see pages 6 thru 15.
Net recommended for low temperature applications.
LH-70* for fillets or 8018-C3 are recommended for
general purpose welding these steels. LH-90-can be
used, particularly if the weldment is to be precipita
tion hardened or high weld strength is required.
,
Use 8018-C1 or LH-75 when high impact properties down to --75 *F. are required.
u @ Jet-LH 78 is recommended for easy handling and slag * cleaning and for extra high tensile strength in the stress
! relieved condition.
EEECTEQEE SELECTION ESSES OH J3KX EEQBEEBSEBTS
Welds on high strength and low alloy steel can often only be made with one or two specific electrodes. See page 2 for selection information.
Full strength welds on carbon steel can usually be made with any of a variety of different electrodes. Selection of the best electrode for maximum welding efficiency should be based on joint requirements. Here is a three step method for considering joint requirements:
1. Classify the joint as `Freeze', `Fill*. `Follow*, or a combination of these.
2. Choose the electrode group -- `Fast-Freeze', `Fast''FillVFnPFreeze' (`Fast-Follow'}, or Low Hydrogen (`Fili-Freeze') -- from the information below and the sketches on page 5.
3. Review the electrodes in the appropriate group (pages 6 thru 13) to select the best electrode for the specific application.
'FREEZE' JOINTS Joints welded vertically and overhead are `Freeze* joints. The weld metal must freeze quickly to keep the molten metal from spiling out of the joint.
For 3/i6** to 5/8" plate, use `Fast-Freeze* electrodes.
For 5/8" and thicker plate, the 'Fill-Freeze* low hydrogen electrodes are more economical because deposit rates are
higher and they make welds with fewer large beads so overall cleaning time is reduced.
FILL' JOINTS Groove, fiat and horizontal fillets, and lap welds in plate over 3/16" thick are 'Fill' joints. They primarily require `Fast-Fill* electrodes with high deposit rates to fill the joint in the shortest time.
`Fast-Fill* electrodes only weld level or slightly downhill (15* max.) joints.' More steeply inclined 'Fill' joints are best gelded with `Fill-Freeze* electrodes.
For the required tight fitup, plates are butted tight, a back up strip is used, or a stringer bead is made with `FillFreeze' electrodes. .
FOLLOW' JOINTS (Sheet Steel) Welding sheet metal under V thick requires electrodes that weld at high travel speeds with minimum skips, misses, slag entrapment and undercut.
Fillets and laps in all positions are best welded with EXX12 or EXX13 'FILL-FREEZE* electrodes because they have excellent `FAST-FOLLOW* ability.
Other types of joints are best welded with `FAST-FREEZE* electrodes because they have good `FOLLOW-FREEZE* ability.

WELDING TECHNIQUES
Polarity . . . Unless otherwise specified, use DC + . reverse polarity, with the ExxlQ's and AC with the Exx-ll's. The Exxll electrodes can be used on 0C+ with a current about 10% below normat AC values. Always adjust current for proper arc action and control of the weld puddle.
Flat. . . Hold a */8 " or shorter arc or touch the work lightly with the electrode tip. Move fast enough to stay ahead of the molten pool. Use currents in the middle and higher
portion of the range.
Vertical . . . Use
or smaller electrodes. Vertical-down
drag techniques are used by pipeliners and for single-pass
welds on thin steel. Vertical-up is used for most plate
welding applications. Make the first vertical-up pass with
either a whipping technique for fillet welds, or a circular
motion for V-butt joints. Apply succeeding passes with a
weave, pausing slightly at the edges to insure penetration
and proper wash-in. Use currents in the lower portion of
the range.
Overhead and Horizontal Butt Welds . . . Use a yu" or smaller, electrode. These welds are best made with a 'series"of stringer beads using a technique similar to
those described for first pass vertical-up welds.
Sheet Metal Edge and Butt Welds . . . Use OC-- and hold a or longer arc. Move as fast as possible while main taining good fusion. Position the work 45* down-hill for fastest welding. Use currents in -the middle of the range.
Pipe Welding . . . The procedure used should be checked for proper electrode size and polarity for the wall thickness, strength level and chemistry of the pipe being welded.
General Guidelines for Power Source Adjustment (SA- and SAE- Machines) .. .In general, the "Current Range" or "Cur rent Control" switch (whether a tap or continuous control), should always be set as (ow as possible to get the current wanted, and the "Fine Current Adjustment" or "Job Selector" control (which controls open circuit voltage) should be-set as high as possible. It is usually better to set this control (for OCV) at the mid-point or higher for best arc stability and fewest popouts.
When using an SA-250, it will normally be necessary to set the "Current Range Selector" tap switch one position lower than used on an SA-200 to get the same operating characteristics.

THE "FAST-FILL" GROUP
for Welding Carbon and Low Alloy Steel
General Applications . . .
Multiple Pass Welds including fillets and deep groove butts. High Spej,Singie Pass Welds especially production fil lets and laps.
Flat and Slightly Downhill (15 Max.) positions only.
Medium Carbon Crack Sensitive Steel when low hydrogen electrodes are not available. Preheat may be required.
'Fast-Fill' Characteristics . . . Highest Deposit Rates of all electrodes. Good Appearance: Smooth, ripple-free beads are flat or slightly convex with negligible spatter. Easy Slag Removal: Heavy slag tends to peel off. Shallow Penetration: Minimum admixture.
Value of iron Powder
Use Jetweld 'Fast-FiW electrodes for high deposit rates and fast speeds on heavy welds in the flat position.
High iron powder (50% by weight) in the coating gives `Fast-Fill' electrodes their major advantage of high deposit rates. There are three basic reasons:
1. Welding heat is more efficiently used to melt coating and core wire rather than excess quantities of base metal.
2. The iron powder is added to the deposited weld metal.
3. Optimum currents are higher than with conventional electrodes.
Also the thick coating facilitates use of the drag technique for easy operation, and the heavy slag promotes uniform cooling and a smooth bead with excellent appearance.
JETWELD \
Specific Electrode Applications
E7Q24
Jetweld 1 is used on the applications listed above. Jetweld 1 has better impact strength, higher ductility, better slag control, larger
weld size and better pock-marking resistance than Jetweld 3. The imprinted electrode identification is 7024-22E to indicate that the weld deposit has a minimum of 22% elongation and CVN impact values of 20 ft-lbs at 0F when tested per AWS
A5.I.
JETWELD 3 *
,,
E7Q24
Jetweld 3 is also used on the applications listed above.
Jetweld 3 has slightly better slag removal, faster follow and slightly higher deposition rates than Jetweld 1.
Jetweld 3 does not conform to any AWS/ASME classifi cation.
JETWELD 2
E6Q27
Used principally for flat deep groove joints primarily when x-ray quality or high notch toughness are required. Excellent wash-in and friable slag provides easy slag removal even in deep grooves.

With tha recommended drag technique, Jetweld electrodes are last and easy to use. Beads look almost like automatic welds.
WELDING TECHNIQUES
Polarity ... Use AC for highest speeds and best operating characteristics. OC can be used, but it promotes arc blow and complicates control of the molten puddle.
Flit... Use a drag technique and deposit stringer beads.
Travel fast enough to stay Vi*%" ahead of the molten
slag. Optimum currents are 5-10 amps above center of the range for most jobs. Do not exceed the center of the range for x-ray quality deposits.
Horizontal Fillet* and Laps ... Point the electrode into the joint at an angle of 45* with horizontal and use "Flat" techniques described above. The tip of the electrode must touch both horizontal and vertical members of the joint.

THE "FILL-FREEZE" GROUP .
for Welding Carbon Steel
General Applications...
^
Downhill Fillets and Laps.
Irregular or Short Welds that change direction or position.
Sheet Metal lap and fillet welds.
'Fast-Fill' Joints with poor fit-up.
General Purpose welding in all positions.
'Fill-Freeze' Characteristics . ..
Medium Deposit Rates and Medium Penetration
Appearance ranges from smooth and ripple-free to even with distinct ripples.
All Position Operation but most widely used downhill or in the level position.
Excellent 'Fast-Follow' Characteristics of s/u thru Vi" sizes of.E6012 and E6013 are excellent for sheet metal welding.
Specific Electrode Applications
FLEETWELD 7
601Z
Makes small beads with light slag at fast speeds. Principally used for sheet metal fabrication and general purpose plate welding in production and maintenance especially when one electrode is used for a variety of work and most welds are in the level or downhill positions. Operates well on AC or DC.
FLEETWELD 37 FLEETWELD 57 FLEETWELD 47
E5Q13
Intended primarily for sheet metal welding when superior bead appearance and easy operation are more important than speed. Especially suited for downhill and vertical down sheet metal welding using a drag technique. AC operation is excellent even with 225 amp (low open circuit voltage) welders.
E7014
Primarily for sheet metal welding (in the horizontal and slightly
downhill position) when excellent bead appearance and easy
operation are more important than speed. A maximum of 30
downhill is possible with the
diameter electrode. The
maximum downhill angle decreases with the larger sizes. The
recommended drag technique, soft arc and easy slag removal
provide outstanding operator appeal. AC operation is excellent
even with 225 amp (low OCV) welders.
Iron powder in the coating provides the highest deposit rates and
fastest speeds of the "Fill-Freeze" electrodes. It is easy to use and has excellent operator appeal. Most frequently used for short, irregular, poorly fit, or downhill "Fast-Fill" joints and is generally used for thicker steel than E6012 or E6013 electrodes.
WELDING TECHNIQUES
Polarity . . . Use DC--, straight polarity, for best perform ance on all applications except when arc blow is a problem. To control arc blow, use AC.
Downhand and Downhill ... Use stringer beads for the first pass except when poor fit-up requires a slight weave. Use either stringer or weave beads for succeeding passes. Touch the tip of the electrode to the work or hold a % " or shorter arc. Move as fast as possible consistent with desired bead size. Use currents in the middle to higher portion of the range.
Electrode Size ... Use yu" or smaller sizes for vertical and 'overhead-welding.
Verticat-Down . . . Use stringer beads or a slight weave. A drag technique should be used with Fleetweld 37. Make small beads. Point the electrode up so arc force pushes molten metal back up the joint. Move fast enough
to stay ahead of the molten pool. Use currents in the higher portion of the range.
Vertical-Up ... Use a triangular weave. Weld a shelf at the bottom of the joint and add layer upon layer. Oo not whip or take the electrode out of the molten pool. Point the electrode slightly upward so arc force assists in control ling the puddle. Travel slowly enough to maintain the shelf without spilling. Use currents in the lower portion of the range.
Overhead ... Make stringer beads using a whipping tech nique with a slight circular motion in the crater. Do not weave. Travel fast enough to avoid spilling. Use currents in the lower portion of the range.
Sheet Metal . . . Weld downhill when possible. Move as fast as possible while maintaining a continuous bead. Use currents in the middle to higher portion of the range.

THE LOW HYDROGEN GROUP
for Welding Carbon and Alloy Steel
General Applications . . .
For x-ray quality and excellent mechanical properties.
To resist cracking in medium to high carbon steels, hot short cracking in phosphorus bearing steels, and porosity in sulfur bearing steels. However, X-ray quality-and meehanlc'al properties may be lower.
Thick sections and restrained joints on mild and alloy steel plate when shrinkage stresses tend to cause weld cracking.
Alloy steels that require 70.000 psi tensile strength deposits. See page 14 for 80-110,000 psi steels.
Multiple pass, vertical and overhead welds in carbon steel plate.
7075 Has `Fill-Freeze4 Characteristics:
All-Position Operation: But quite different from `FastFreeze' electrodes. Weld metal freezes rapidly even though the slag remains relatively fluid. High Deposit Rates consistent with all-position opera tion provided by iron powder in the coating. Appearance: Flat or slightly convex beads have distinct ripples with little spatter. Slag Removal: Moderately heavy slag is easy to remove.
7025 Has 4Fast-Fill' Characteristics:
See page 8 for description of these characteristics.
Use low hydrogen electrodes for best duality and excellent
crack resistance an thick sections and high tensile, low alloy, high carbon and "problem" steels.
Low Hydrogen Quality
Low hydrogen electrodes can produce dense, x-ray quality welds with excellent notch toughness and duc tility. The low hydrogen content in the deposit reduces the danger of underbead and micro-cracking on high carbon and low alloy steels and on thick weldments. Less preheat is needed than for other electrodes.
Hermetically Sealed Containers
All Lincoln low hydrogen electrodes are shipped in hermetically sealed containers which can be stored indefinitely in normal storage conditions without dan ger of moisture pickup. For best weld quality, use electrodes from freshly opened containers. Store opened containers and loose electrodes in a warm dry place. If electrodes do pick up moisture, they can be redried (see bulletin M629).

'WELDING TECHNIQUES
Polarity . . . Usa DC + , reverse polarity, whenever possible with <fa" and smaller sizes of Jetweld LH-70. Use AC with the larger sizes for best operating characteristics, but DC + can also be used.
Downhand ... On tha first pass, or .whenever it is desir able to reduce admixture with a base metal of poor weld ability, use low currents. On succeeding passes, use currents that provide best operating characteristics. Drag the elec trode lightly or hold as short an arc as possible, %" max. when optimum impacts and x-ray quality are required. Oo not use a long arc at any time because this type electrode relies, principally on molten slag for shielding. Stringer beads or smalt weave passes are preferred to wide weave passes. Layers should be kept as thin as possible (%" max.) for best properties. When starting a new electrode, strike the arc ahead of the crater, move back into the crater, and then proceed in the normal direction. Use higher currents on AC than DC. Govern travel speed by the desired bead size.
Vertical . . . Weld vertical-up with
and smaller sizes.
Use a triangular weave for heavy single-pass welds. For'
multi-pass welds, first deposit a stringer bead using a
slight weave. Deposit additional layers with a side-to-side
weave, hesitating at the sides long enough to fuse out any
small slag pockets and to minimize undercut. Do not use
a whip technique or take the electrode out of the molten
pool. Travel siow enough to maintain the shelf without
causing metaf to spilt. Use currents in the low to middle
portion of the range, depending on joint design and plate
thickness.
Overhead . . . Use
and smaller electrodes. Deposit
stringer beads using a slight circularmotion in the crater.
Maintain a short arc. Motions should be slow and delib
erate. Move fast enough to avoid spilling weld metal, but
do not be alarmed if some slag spills. Use currents in the
lower portion of the range.
