Footnotes
(1) Any E70X8 electrode may be used. Jet-LH78 MR or Excalibur 7018 is preferred over Jetweld LH-70 for most pipe and out-of-position welding.
Jetweld LH-3800 can be used in place of Jetweld LH-70 for flat and horizontal fillets, laps, and flat butt welds.
(2) Almost any E60XX or E70XX electrode can be used. First, select electrode based on the joint requirements. Second, not all SMAW electrodes are
required to have minimum specified levels of notch toughness. If code specifications, or contract document require notch toughness, electrode
selection should be limited to those that meet the specific application requirements.
(3) Almost any E70XX electrode can be used. First, select electrode based on the joint requirements. Second, not all SMAW electrodes
are required to have minimum specified levels of notch toughness. If code specifications, or contract documents require notch toughness, electrode
selection should be limited to those that meet the specific application requirements
(4) Fleetweld 5P, 5P+, 35, or 35LS.
(5) Fleetweld 35, 180, 7, 37, or 47.
(6) For best color match of multi-pass welds to the base plate on unpainted structures, use Jet-LH 8018-C3 MR (1% Ni). The second choice for
multi-pass welds on unpainted structures is Jet-LH 8018-C1 MR (2-1/4% Ni). For single pass welds, multi-pass welds which are not exposed and
multi-pass welds which do not require close color match, any E7018 electrode may be used.
(7) Fillet welds are frequently made with Excalibur 7018, Jetweld LH-70, Jet-LH 78 MR, or Jet-LH 8018-C3 MR.
(8) Excalibur 7018 for fillets or Jet-LH 8018-C3 MR are recommended for general purpose welding these steels. Jetweld LH-90 can be used
particularly if the weldment is to be precipitation hardened or high weld strength is required.
(9) Use Jet-LH-8018-C1 MR when high impact properties [down to -75F (-59C)] are required.
