Use leas wiro which offsets cost of ga”
thick metal where high producti rates are needed. Gives really high strength.
Can be ued for welding Mild Stel to Stinless Steel
Helbweld 3 on Stointess Steel — T1G
> Use on Stainless Steel that is prone to Hyrogen cracking. Replacing
‘Argon/Hydrogen mixtures with Heliweli2 eliminates ant rst of Hydrogen
cracking snd Hytroger porosity: Holiwolt can be used on thick sections when
‘extra heat i required. Faster weld speeds.HELIWELD WELDING GAS MIXTURES
