Applications

This multipurpose alloy can be used on all grades of carbon steel, low alloy steels, stainless steels, tool steels, and high alloy steels. It is corrosion resistant, heat resistant, and has an excellent resistance to cracking. Considering its ease of use and versatility, this electrode is a must for any repair facility.

Procedure

Clean and prepare weld zone in accordance with standard welding practice. Preheat heavy sections and high alloy steels to 400F. Run stringer beads while maintaining a short arc length. To reduce internal stresses on high alloy steels and heavy sections intermittent welding followed by peening is recommended. Allow each pass to cool prior to slag removal.
