•Non-synthetic electrode depositing low carbon 28Cr-31.5Ni-3.7Mo-1Cu, fully austenitic weld metal. • Weld metal exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion in non- oxidizing media like Sulfuric acid, Phosphoric acid, etc. • The elements C, P and S are maintained at low levels to eliminate hot cracking & fissuring problems in weld metal. • A soft and smooth arc, which is easy to strike and re-strike. • E a s y slag detachability and well-rippled weld beads. • The weld metal is of radiographic quality.
Ideally suited for welding stainless steels of similar composition and other equivalent grades of stainless steels.
