• Excellent for welding dissimilar metals, especially if one of them is a stainless steel of high nickel content. Perfect electrode to use on unknown steels
• All-position welding on difficult to weld steels such as manganese steel, air-hardening steels, armor steels, spring steels, tool and die steels, rail steel, and aircraft steel
• Used as a wear-resistant build-up or buffer-layer option in hard-facing applications
• Creates a two-phase weld deposit with substantial amounts of ferrite in an austenitic matrix; this two-phase deposit makes it highly resistant to weld metal cracking or fissures
• Weld deposits are ductile, porosity-free with greater root penetration and produce the highest tensile strength of standard stainless steel electrodes
• Popular applications include repair of construction equipment, repairing or modifications of dies, broken machinery repairs, and joining wear plates
