DATA SHEET – Certificate of Compliance


Description and Application
 Perfect electrode to use when the type of steel to be welded is unknown (works on most ferrous metals)
 Excellent all-position electrode for joining or overlaying all types of steels – high alloy steels, high carbon steel, manganese
steel, tool steels, stainless steels and dissimilar steels
 Very easy to use this electrode and maintain precise weld control even on thin sections and delicate parts where appearance
is critical
 Easy striking and restriking of arc, no spatter, practically self-peeling slag resulting in a beautiful weld bead
 Weld deposits exhibit superior wear, impact, heat, and corrosion-resistant properties
 Weld deposits cannot be flame cut but they are machinable
 Commonly used on tool and die repairs, railroad iron, crane booms, construction equipment, spring steel, axles, machinery
gears, build-up of shafts, overlaying or cushioning layers prior to hard-facing

Instructions: Use DC+ (reverse polarity), however, an AC machine with sufficient open circuit voltage may be used. Bevel thick sections to a 60 Vee.
Clean the weld zone of all contaminants. Preheating 300 series stainless steel is NOT required. The diameter of the electrode chosen should be equal
to the thickness of the base metal. Use the lowest possible welding current or increase your welding speed in order to avoid overheating or distortion
of the base metal. Overheating stainless steel can degrade the composition and corrosion resistant properties. The arc length should be kept as short
as possible but do not touch the flux-coating of the electrode into the molten weld pool. Hold the electrode at a 15 angle into the direction of travel.
Stringer beads should be used in the flat, horizontal, and overhead positions. The weaving technique should be used for vertical welding but not to
exceed two to three times the diameter of the electrode. Remove all slag before making additional passes. On the final pass, allow the part to cool
down partially before removing the slag, then promote rapid cooling by quenching with a wet rag or compressed air. This will preserve the corrosion
resistant properties of the 300 series stainless. Do not allow to slow cool.

There is no substitute for Victory!
