REDRYING
All controlled hydrogen electrodes will perform optimally when they are dry. Unopened Lincoln PERMAPACK's provide excellent protection against moisture pick-up in good storage conditions. Should re-drying be necessary, remove electrodes from the packet / container and spread thinly and evenly on racks in a ventilated oven. For electrodes that have had a short or mild exposure to the atmosphere then re-drying at 572°F(300°C) for 1 hour will be sufficient. For electrodes that have been exposed to longer or more aggressive conditions or for critical work re-drying at 572-662°F (300- 350°C) for 1-2 hours is recommended. After re-drying electrodes should be stored in a hot box.

ASME SFA-5.1
GUIDELINES FOR USE
-
If necessary, re-dry electrodes at 350-380 ℃ for 30-60 minutes before use. Exposed electrodes should be stored at 100-150℃.
-
All water, rust and oil should be completely removed from base material to prevent cracking and blowholes.
-
Backstep method should be applied to prevent porosity during starting. Arc length should be kept as short as possible during welding.
-
If weaving is required, the width should not exceed 3x the diameter of the electrode.
