Description and Applications

Welding of 18-8 austenitic stainless steels for chemical apparatus, containers and plants.  Slag is easy to detach and arc is stable, less spatter loss and bead appearance is beautiful

 
Guideline in Usage
1. Electrodes should be re-dried at 250 300℃ for one hour before use
2. Excessively wide weaving may cause welding defects. Keep weaving width to less than 2.5 times electrode diameter.
3.

Remove dirt such as oil and dust from the groove.
