9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Physical state: Solid.
Color: Grey.
Odour: Odourless.
pH value: Not applicable.
Melting point [°C]: ca 1500.
Density [kg/dm
3
]: ~ 5
Viscosity: Not applicable.
Solubility in water: Insoluble.
Flash point [°C]: Not applicable.
Explosion limits: Not applicable.
10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability: Stable under normal conditions (< 300°C).
Materials to avoid: Contact with chemical substances like acids ou bases could cause
generation of gas.
Hazardous decomposition products: Formation of dangerous fumes during use. Welding fumes are classified
carcinogen by the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) :
Group 2B Cancer suspected agent. Reasonably expected gaseous products
would include carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides and ozone.
Fume Data Sheet: According to process conditions, hazardous decomposition products may be
generated. These hazardous products could include those from the reaction
or oxidation of the components listed in section 3 or included in base
material.
Fumes Emission Rate: The amount of fumes generated change with the welding parameters and
the diameters of the consumable. Refer to applicable national exposure
limits for fume compounds and national exposure limits for fumes.
Fumes analysis: Fumes generated by this covered electrode contain compounds indicated in
section n.8.
Other information: In case of work on parts covered by coatings such as : Lubricant, Solvent,
Paint, Metallic compounds, Grease, etc... The thermal or photochemical
decomposition products of these elements cumulate with the dusts and
fumes emitted by the melting of the welding product. The solution to adopt
must be, in any case, preceded by a spot study. Refer to the document
"Health and Safety in Welding" published by the International Institute of
Welding (IIS/IIW).
