NAVY PLANE CARRIER “Fleetweld” Electrodes Exceed U.S. Navy’s Exacting Specifications; Newport News Ship- building and Dry Dock Co. Use 333,000 Lbs. of “Fleetweld” to Build U.S. S. Ranger More than 225 miles of welds, produced by the shielded arc process with Lincoln “‘Fleetweld’’ electrodes are contained in the U.S.S. Ranger. By using Lincoln “Fleetweld’’ electrodes, the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock "ELECTRODES » S| Co. were able to more than satisfy the U.S. Navy’s rigorous requirements. Welds produced by Lincoln ‘‘Fleetweld’’elec- trodes and “‘Shield-Arc’’ welders have tensile strength of 65,000 to 75,000 Ibs. per sq. in.— ductility of 20% to 30% elongation in two inches—greater resistance to impact, fatigue and corrosion than mild rolled steel. Welds with these characteristics can be made in any position: flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead. You pay no more for those higher quality welds...in fact, they actually cost less than ordinary welds because with Lincoln equip- ment you weld much faster.
