OK 74.46
OK 74.46 is an LMA electrode alloyed with 0.5% Mo for welding steels for pressure vessels. The running characteristics make it suitable for welding joints in inclined
positions. The composition of the coating is adapted for welding with low currents, making OK 74.46 very suitable for the welding of pipes.
