Superior specially designed high strength austenitic type electrode of duplex structure. All purpose low amperage electrode. Easy to use with smooth arc, low spatter and even bead formation. Can be used for overlaying and joining dissimilar steels to one another, high and low carbon steels, spring steels, tool and die steels, cast steels, ferritic to austenitic steels and steels of unknown composition. High resistance to cracking coupled with good wear, heat, impact and corrosion resistance. Therefore this electrode has uses in practically every type of industry resulting in one of the most universally used electrodes for problem and unknown steels.

If allowed to become damp the electrodes should be re-dried for one hour at 150°C before use.
