ESAB® Arcaloy® Stainless Steel Stick Electrode measuring 3/32" X 12" has a minimum carbon content of .04% and is used primarily in the overlay of steel where intergranular corrosion must be kept to a minimum. During the manufacturing process of this electrode, temper, cast, helix and surface finish are closely controlled as the uniformity of these properties is necessary to maximum efficiency of the welding process. Electrode can be used for welding mild or carbon and low alloy steels as well as stainless steel joints provided the service temperature does not exceed about 700 deg F. It is associated with E309L-16/E309-16 AWS classification and meets ASME II SFA A5.4, ASME IX F No. 5 approvals. It comes in a 10 lb hermetically sealed container.
