▎Applications and Features

  • Weld metal is 23.5%Cr-13%Ni.
  • It is suitable for joining stainless steel to carbon steel or low alloy steel.
  • It provides excellent weldability, corrosion resistant and crack resistance due to proper ferrite contents in the weld metal.
  • It provides stable arc, good slag removal, and easy control of weld puddle, low spatters and good penetration.
  • It has bright silvery bead appearance and good wettability.
