Stainless Steel Electrodes

Rutox-F is a stainless steel electrode depositing a weld metal containing 18Cr - 13Ni - 2.3Mo, which is unique in combination to produce a maximum ferrite content of 2FN in the weld metal. This extra low ferrite content ensures excellent corrosion resistance against severe corrosive media. Ideal for welding AISI 316L, 316 particularly when the weld metal ferrite content has to be controlled at a low level, as in the case of urea equipments.

1. Use short arc and stringer bead to restrict heat input.

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

NOTE : Batox-F conforming to AWS E316L-15 is also available.
