II. DESCRIPTION:

Stainless steel Shielded Metal Arc Welding electrode with coating for welding 18/8/Mo stainless steels, AISI 316, 316L and 317 austenitic stainless steel. Austeniticresistant weld 2.8% Mo insures against intergranularC. Deposition rate and efficiency (112%) are far better that most other peeling. Handles circuit voltage of 70 volts. The finished welds exhibit a slightly concave shape with a good cosmetic appearance which requires little or no post weld dressing. The electrode is ideal for both fillet and butt welding applications.

III. NOTES ON USAGE:

Prepare all fit the work carefully, cleaning the joints of all foreign material. Use Ac (minimum OCV of 70V) or DC+ current. Proceed with the lowest current possible and a short arc without allowing coating to touch molten pool. Short and intermittent welding is to be preffered to avoid overheating and distortion. Avoid excessive weaving. Electrodes should be coated. Discard exposed core wire by striking or scratch welding in scrap plate until exposed core wire is consumed. Use dry electrodes to prevent blowholes in deposit. If necessary re-dry at 200ºC for two (2) hours before use.

TEST RESULT

The information contained or otherwise referenced herein is presented only as “typical” without guarantee or warranty, and Industrial Welding Corporation expressly disclaims any liability incurred from any reliance thereon. 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.
