  • Good hardness up to 560°C (1040°F)
  • Excellent all-position weldability
  • Good resistance to impacts and abrasion
  • Dense and porosity-free deposits

Instructions for use:

Remove any trace of oil, grease and dirt from the surface. Remove damaged metal and cracks with the Soudotec 212 SP or Soudotec G12. Preheat thick parts at 250 to 500oC (480 to 940oF). Weld 2’’ to 3’’ (5.5 – 7.5 cm) beads with a short arc, without weaving. Weld quickly to avoid overheating the base metal. Remove slag between passes. For parts affected by moderate impacts use Soudotec 265 electrode as a cushion.
