Stainless Steel Electrodes

D&H 17Cr

AWS: SFA 5.4 E430-15 EN ISO CODE: 3581-A E (17) B 2 2

D&H 17Cr is a heavy coated low hydrogen electrode depositing a weld metal containing 17Cr. The weld deposit displays good resistance to corrosion and heat. The electrode is suitable for joining stainless steels of similar composition. It is also suitable for surfacing carbon steels, low alloy steels and chromium steels. Typical applications include surfacing of valves, impellers, turbine blades, etc.

Precaution

1. Ensure the electrodes are dry. Re-dry the electrodes at 250-300°C for one hour.

2. Use minimum current and stringer bead.
