Application
This type wire is classified by the chemical composition of deposited weld metal in combination with a specific welding flux using the submerged welding process. The weld metal properties are obtained by the use of a properly selected flux and EB8 wire and knowing if the weldment is to be heat treated or as welded condition.

Deposited Chemical Composition % (Typical)
C = 0.08	S = 0.011	Mo = 1.00
Mn = 0.55	P = 0.015	Cu = 0.18
Si = 0.35	Cr = 9.50

Note: Using Neutral flux

Mechanical Properties (Nominal Values) R.T.
Tensile Strength	74,000psi
Yield Strength
Elongation	18%

Recommended Welding Parameter
Weld parameter dependent upon the wire diameter and welding flux being used.
Note:  Both agglomerated and fused fluxes can be used for submerged arc welding.
Note:  The chemical composition of the flux mainly affects the chemistry of the weld metal and consequently its corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
