Applications and Features

( 1 ) Weld metal is austenitic structure with 23%Cr-12%Ni.

( 2 ) Moderate ferrite content increases good crack and corrosion resistance.

( 3 ) Used for welding dissimilar materials such as mild steel to stainless steel, as well as for a barrier layer in stainless overlays.

( 4 ) Occasionally used for welding “18-8” base metals when severe corrosion conditions exist or dissimilar metals

Welding Position

Welding Instruction

( 1 ) Use Ar+1~2%O₂ for spray transfer and Ar+1~2%CO₂ for short-circuit transfer.

( 2 ) For welding dissimilar alloy, please refer to Appendix I.

( 3 ) For other instructions, please refer to Appendix B and F .
