    TITLE : Guidelines for Electrode baking

    1 Objective : Scope of this work instruction is to implement the system for electrode
    Baking and re-drying as per manufactures recomendtaion before using in
    Welding.

    2 Scope : This Procedure is for Baking , Drying and Storage of various Electrodes to be
    used for welding of Pressure vessels, PEB Structures and Heavy fabricated
    members.

    3 Responsibility : Head – Operations for approval & overall implementation.


    Manager – QA & Engineers for preparation & implementation.

    4 Reference Documents

    1) ASME Sec. II Part C ( SFA-5.1 for Carbon steel , SFA-5.5 for alloy steel and SFA-5.4 for Stainless steel
    electrodes. .SFA 5.28 for alloy steel ,SFA 5.11 for stainless steel )

    2) Approved WPS

    5. EQUIPMENT AND STORAGE


    1) Backing Oven and Portable Oven
    2) Register for Maintaining Records
    3 ) Electrode Storage Area ( Store )

    6. DESCRIPTION
    1) Electrodes will be received from approved suppliers through material controller.
    2) Electrode stock Register will be maintained by the storekeeper.
    3) Special care will be taken to avoid mixing of electrodes in the Baking Oven. Different trays will be used
    for different electrode.
    4) Electrodes will be put immediately in the Baking oven after opening the pocket. Backing temperature
    and time will be Maintained as per the manufacture’s recommendation and WPS and it is listed below

    TITLE : Guidelines for Electrode baking

    AWS Classification Baking temperature Time Holding temperature

    SFA 5.1 250 – 300 ° C 2 Hrs 100°C Minimum

    SFA 5.4 250 – 300 ° C 2 Hrs 100°C Minimum

    SFA 5.9 250 – 300 ° C 2 Hrs 100 ° C Minimum

    5) Electrodes baking ( Redrying ) Ovens will have proper air circulation arrangement and will have
    provision to measure the temperature of the oven by the temperature Indicator. Welders will be issued
    electrodes not more than for two hours consumption
    6) After baking is completed the electrodes will be maintained above 100 ° C (or as per the manufacturer
    instruction ) in a holding oven which is duly calibrated .Welders will be issued electrodes in a portable
    oven capable of above mentioned Holding temperature. The portable oven electric supply will be taken
    from any welding machine. Electrodes remaining un- consumed at the end of the day/ shift will be
    returned to the Holding oven.
    7) Electrodes once dried if become cold for some reasons( eg. Power cut ), will re-dried as per the same
    procedure. However it will not happen more than one time.
    8) Electrode Baking control register will be maintained.
    7. ACCEPTENCE CRITERIA
    a) Verifying the Electrode Baking records as per the procedure
    b) Electrodes with damaged coating will removed from the Oven.
    c) Electrodes exposed to rain or moisture will not be used.
    8. RECORD
    Electrodes storage and Baking details shall be recorded in a register and the same will be subjected to
    regular inspection and audit.
