OK 73.08 is a NiCu-alloyed LMA electrode, which deposits a weld-metal with good corrosion resistance to sea-water and flue gases, for the welding of weatherproof steel and for ship’s hull structural steel.
The weld-metal has excellent mechanical properties. It is particularly suitable for welding the shell plating of ice-breakers and other ships, which work under conditions where the protective paint coating wears off.
