OK 48.00

A reliable, general purpose electrode for manual metal arc welding of carbon steels, carbon manganese steels and fine-grained carbon manganese steels with elevated yield strength. OK 48.00 deposits a tough, crack-resistant weld metal. The coating is of the low moisture absorption type. High welding speed in the vertical-up position. OK 48.00 is insensitive to the composition of the base material within fairly wide limits. The electrode can be used for welding structures where difficult stress conditions cannot be avoided. Tested according to NACE TM0177 and TM0284. Diffusible Hydrogen tested in various conditions show values below 3 ml/100g.

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 mild steel welding electrodes we make today.

Consistent Performance and Quality, Every Time

Performance is still what sets ESAB covered electrodes apart. No matter the job at hand, with ESAB mild steel and low hydrogen electrodes you are assured of good penetration, consistent mechanical properties, and X-ray quality welds from batch to batch.

Setting the Standard in Covered Electrodes

ESAB covered electrodes exceed industry criteria for low moisture pick up (moisture pick up 0 to 1000°C < 0.4 after 9 hours at 274°C, 80% HR). You can trust ESAB low hydrogen and mild steel electrodes to deliver tough mechanical properties in high or low temperature environments, high humidity worksites, or the most challenging positional welding projects. Plus, their easy-to-use nature make them a simple choice for welders of all skill levels.
