With a nominal weld composition of 30%
chromium, 9% nickel and 0.1% carbon,
SelectAlloy 312-C produces a two-phase
weld metal with substantial ferrite in an
austenitic matrix. The high level of ferrite
in this gas-shielded, metal cored, stainless
steel electrode makes the weld metal very
resistant to cracking, even when highly
diluted.
APPLICATI

CHARACTERISTICS:
? Higher deposition rates, more controlled
penetration than the equivalent solid
electrode.
? Operates at high travel speed.
? Handles poor fit-up.
? Produces virtually no spatter and little or no
slag.
? Provides a smooth, spray arc transfer.
