For welding dissimilar metals and different stainless steel types

This molybdenum bearing stainless steel alloy, is especially suitable for joining all difficult to weld steels to themselves or to stainless steel, or for joining dissimilar stainless steels. The addition of Molybdenum provides higher corrosion resistance, higher strength and creep resistance at elevated temperatures. When welding low and unalloyed steels, a weld good with a high corrosion resistance is already obtained in the first layer.

The deposited metal is resistant to hot cracking and is practically spatter and porosity free.

Slag release is excellent, and weld pool control is easy to obtain.

The welded deposit is heat resistant up to 1.050°C. (1.922°F).
