Enquire about this product

Basic universal electrode with very good welding characteristics, especially designed for welding of carbon steels, carbon manganese steels and fine grained carbon manganese steels with elevated yield strength. Typical field of application is offshore construction.The weld metal alloyed with approximately 0.9% Ni fulfills the requirements on impact toughness at -50°C.The coating is of low moisture absorption type and gives diffusible hydrogen < 4ml per 100 grams of weld metal. OK 48.08 is HIC test compliant as per NACE TM0284 & SSC test compliant as per NACE TM0177.

Welding Invented

When our founder Oscar Kjellberg developed the world's first coated welding electrode in 1904, he launched a company whose innovation and uncompromising standards have helped create the history of welding itself. This legacy continues in the quality, performance, and continuous development of the covered electrodes we make today.
