Böhler FOX EV PIPE E7016-1 Basic Pipe Welding Electrode

Name: Böhler FOX EV PIPE E7016-1 Pipe Electrode
Brand: Böhler Welding
SKU: FOX EV PIPE

Description

E7016-1 pipe electrode for root passes on DC- and fill and cap on DC+

The Böhler FOX EV PIPE is a basic-coated, unalloyed electrode classified AWS A5.1 E7016-1 and EN ISO 2560-A E 42 4 B 1 2. Böhler Welding designed it for positional welding of root passes with DC- polarity, as well as for fill and cap passes of pipes, tubes and plates on DC+ polarity and AC. The data sheet describes good gap bridging, easy slag removal for minimum grinding, and weld metal toughness down to -50 °F. It is also said to save considerable time against E7018-type electrodes on root passes thanks to higher travel speeds, and a 1/8 in diameter can be used for roots in wall thicknesses of 5/16 in and more. HIC tests to NACE TM-02-84 are cited for sour gas use, with SSC values available.

Base materials and pipe applications

The data sheet lists P235GH, P265GH, P295GH, P235T1, P275T1, P235G2TH, P255G1TH, S255N to S420N (stress relieved up to S380N), L290NB to L360NB, L290MB to L415MB, and API 5L Grades A, B and X42 to X60, plus ASTM A53 Gr. A-B, A106 Gr. A-C, A179, A192 and A210 Gr. A-1. Higher grades L450MB to L555MB and X65 to X80 are marked for the root pass only. That boundary matters: the electrode is a root and general-purpose pipe electrode, and for hot, fill and cap passes on high-strength line pipe a higher-strength vertical-down type such as the

is the usual pairing, while cellulosic roots are covered by the

FOX CEL+.

Choosing between E7016-1 and E7018-1: an E7018-type such as the

has higher metal recovery and is common for fill passes, while the EV PIPE trades some deposition for fast, controllable root runs on DC- with gap bridging. Check the welding procedure to see which polarity applies to each pass, and qualify the root and fill electrodes together if the code requires it.

Handling and what to confirm

Keep the pack sealed and dry; this data sheet does not print a redrying range, so follow the pack label and Böhler guidance if the electrodes have taken up moisture. Confirm in the enquiry the pipe grade and wall thickness, whether the pack should be the pipeline tin, which diameters are needed, and any NAKS, GAZPROM or sour-service documentation that the contract requires.

How the Böhler FOX EV PIPE works

An arc is struck between the electrode and the pipe. The basic coating melts to shield the weld pool and forms a slag layer over the bead. The core wire adds unalloyed weld metal to the joint. The welder runs the root pass on DC minus and the fill and cap on DC plus.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance notes for the FOX EV PIPE

Keep the electrodes dry and store them as the maker advises. Set the current inside the range for the diameter. Clean the slag from each pass before the next. Run a procedure test before production welding.
