Technical characteristics:

• Tensile strength Re [N/mm2]: >320
• Breaking strength Rm [N/mm2]: >510
• Elongation A5 [%]: >30
• Impact toughness Kv [J]: >55 J (20°C), >30 J (-190°C)
• Electrode type (coating): rutile
• Ferrite content: FN = approximately 5
• Drying: 300 - 350°C / 2 hours

The rutile electrode is designed for welding stainless steels, austenitic, Nb or Ti stabilized austenitic, ferritic stainless steels from the 13% Cr group. It provides excellent starting of the main and secondary arc (and cold). It features a focused arc and stable arc brightness. Correct and easy weld pool formation, with automatically detachable slag. Smooth welding, with fine ripples, resistant to thermal cracking and without dark oxidized high-temperature surface layers. The welding metal is resistant to stress corrosion cracking up to 350°C. The electrode performs excellently in vertical welding and offers uninterrupted welding execution in the PF position, producing welds with ideal, flat geometry. During welding overlay, the metal tends to straighten the edges, facilitating the achievement of proper welding.

APPLICATION: Food and chemical industry. Widely used in the production and installation of architectural and decorative metal constructions for residential and public buildings: railings, frames, fittings, etc.
