Description
Characteristics:
It is designed with high range carbon to help prevent corrosion at high temperature. It suitable for welding of high carbon 18%Cr-8%Ni stainless steel
Applications:
It is used for oil and gas refineries, gas turbine, Power plant, Boiler and pressure vessel operate at high temperature
Notes on Usage:
1. For TIG process, use DC(-) current , Argon Shield and Tungsten Electrode.
2. For MIG process, use Spray Transfer or Short Circuit Transfer mode.
3. 98%Argon – 2%O₂ shielding gas is recommended in MIG process.
