Electrode Baking Calculator
Calculate electrode baking temperature and time for low-hydrogen electrodes
Electrode Classification
?
Low-hydrogen electrodes (E70XX, E80XX, E90XX, E100XX, E110XX) require baking to remove moisture and prevent hydrogen cracking.
E7018 (A5.1)
E7028 (A5.1)
E8018-C1 (A5.5)
E9018-B3 (A5.5)
E10018-D2 (A5.5)
E11018-M (A5.5)
Electrode Condition
?
Initial baking is for new/sealed electrodes. Reconditioning is for electrodes exposed to atmosphere beyond allowed time.
