Hello, I am Jorge from Mexico

Which is the suitable electrode to weld reinforcing steel (ASTM A615 Grade 60) to a structural steel plate (ASTM A36)?

The reinforcing bar size is #8 (25mm of diameter) and it will be welded in a perpendicular form respect to plate plan (thk plate 25mm). It will be used a double –V-groove weld).

Thanks.

Jorge.
Confirmá si la chapa es 615 ó 516 Gr.60, si es esta última el E7018 funciona adecuadamente.
Saludos,
José (de Argentina).

I can't understand the responses that have been posted, but the C.E. of ASTM A615 rebar is not controlled and must be determined via chemical analysis. This analysis is usually reported in the MTR. The C.E. of ASTM A615 rebar generally falls between 0.6 and 0.7, so preheat is almost always required for welding.
