Features

• Low C, < 0.03 wt%, minimizes carbide precipitation (sensitization) which makes the weld metal more resistant to intergranular corrosion.
• Metal cored benefits include the ability to successfully bridge gaps when part fit up is not as designed, higher travel speeds with subsequent lower heat inputs at equal amperages, and ability to join thin materials.
• Primarily used for the surfacing of base metals to improve their corrosion resistance in either a single-layer overlay or for the first layer of a multilayer overlay in conjunction with 316 or 317.
