PHILSTAIN 312

AWS Specification: AWS A5.4 E312-16

JIS Specification: NONE

Other Specification: DIN 8556 E29 9 R 26

I. APPLICATIONS:

Welding of dissimilar metals such as stainless steel to mild steel and low alloy steel.

Welding of stainless clad steel. Under-laying of hard surfacing.

II. DESCRIPTION:

PHILSTAIN 312 is a lime-titania type electrode which gives 29%Cr-9%Ni. As the weld metal has high ferrite structure, its crack resistibility is excellent. It is used for welding of dissimilar metals and underlaying welding of hard surfacing.

III. NOTES ON USAGE:

Choose the welding current as low as possible to prevent cracking of plate.

It is necessary to preheat the plate at 200ºC and over in the case of welding of special steel such as high alloy tool steels.

Typical data and Test results for mechanical properties, deposit or electrode composition and other properties were obtained from a weld produced and tested according to prescribed standards, and should not be assumed to be the expected results in a particular application or weldment. Actual results will vary depending on many factors, including, but not limited to, weld procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design and fabrication methods. Users are cautioned to confirm by qualification testing, or other appropriate means, the suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in the intended application.
