Open arc flux cored wire, providing 18Cr - 8Ni - 7Mn austenitic stainless steel weld metal. Used for joining 14% Manganese steels and 14% Manganese steels to stainless steels and carbon steels. It is well-suited for buffer layer application on 14% Manganese steels. Due to it's high crack resistant weld metal, suitable for joining dissimilar steels, difficult-to-weld steels, armor plates and buffer layer application in crack sensitive large sections before hardfacing.
Typical Applications: Used for joining wear plates to bucket, joining bucket teeth, joining and surfacing of rails, switch points, crossovers and press arms.
