Em12k PDF

EM12K is a medium-manganese electrode for submerged arc welding manufactured by Pinnacle Alloys. It can be used with S-717 flux for multi-layer welding of fine grain steels and high strength steels. When used with S-717 flux, the deposited weld metal meets AWS A5.17 specifications and is suitable for applications such as pressure vessels and wind tower fabrication. EM12K has typical mechanical properties including 80,100 psi ultimate tensile strength and 70,700 psi yield strength when used with S-717 flux.

EM12K DATA SHEET


Pinnacle Alloys EM12K
AWS CLASS EM12K
CODE AND SPECIFICATION DATA:
AWS A5.17 ASME SFA 5.17; UNS K01113

DESCRIPTION:
Pinnacle Alloys EM12K is a medium-manganese electrode for submerged arc welding.
Depending on the flux used with this product, it can conform to either AWS A5.17 or A5.23.

When EM12K is used in combination with S-717 flux, the deposited weld metal is suitable for
multi-layer welding of fine grain steels and high strength steels of thick cross sections. It can be
used in applications such as pressure vessels, structural steels, and wind tower fabrication.
This flux has a basicity index of 1.9 and can be used with DCEP, DC-AC, or AC-AC tandem and
multi electrode welding.
