Stainless Steel Electrodes

Rutox-A(N) is a stainless steel electrode depositing 22Cr - 10Ni - 0.15N weld metal. It is a special electrode producing stainless steel weld metal which has excellent operational characteristics. The weld metal has higher resistance to cracking, oxidation and scaling at elevated temperatures up to 1100°C. It is ideally suited for welding of stainless steels of similar composition like ASTM S30815 and equivalent, for overlays, surfacing and repairing castings.

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

2. Use low current, short arc and stringer bead.
