Type of Covering: Lime-titania

Welding Position: F, H, HF, OH, V
Type of Current: DCEP or AC

Description
It deposits a ferritic-austenitic duplex weld metal with around 40% ferrite so it has excellent
crack resistance. It is suitable for welding Cr29Ni9 cast steels, high carbon steels, tool steels,
problem steels as well as for dissimilar steel welding.

Notice: 1) The rod should be baked at 300℃-350℃ for 1 hour before use.
2) The surfaces to be welded must be cleaned away impurities of oil contamination,
rust, moisture and so on.
3) When welding hardenable steel smaller current should be applied and for the big
and thick weldment it should be preheated to 150℃ before welding.
