FEATURES Preheating
Fe Cr Ni rich alloy deposit with an Generally not needed. Preheating depends on the steel's
austenitic structure, strengthened with Carbon Equivalent, the work piece size, thickness and
delta ferrite geometry.
superior dilution tolerance allows use on
a wide range of steels CE < 0.2 preheat not essential
Special rutile basic flux coating for easy CE 0.2 - 0.4 preheat 100-200°C
welding CE 0.4 - 0.8 preheat 200-350°C
CGS - Controlled Grain Structure -
strength and ductility Note that 12-14% Mn steels should never be preheated
spray type metal transfer and the work piece temperature during welding should be
superb weldability for all steels kept below 250°C.

PRINCIPAL APPLICATIONS
Joining and buttering
For difficult to weld steels, including: cast steel, Higher amperages for large workpieces, and maximum
heat-treated steel, high carbon steel, manganese deposition rate; lower amperages for small workpieces,
steel, stainless steel, tool steel and steels of difficult welding positions and minimum dilution. Minimise
unknown composition, plus dissimilar joining. arc length. Max. interpass temperature: 300°C. Remove
Wearfacing slag before each new pass.
Machineable, low friction, work hardening deposit
provides oxidation resistant protection for all of Welding polarity (+) DCEP
the above base materials.
Industrial examples Post-welding treatment
