3000 is the perfect choice when joining dissimilar metals. This alloy can be used for the repair and joining of all ferrous steels including high-alloy, stainless and tool steels. It can be used in all positions to produce smooth, porosity free welds without undercut or splatter. Special ferrite balanced chemistry also serves as a ‘STUD PULLING’ electrode. Typical Applications • Dissimilar metals • Repair of tools, dies, springs, carbon steels and pressure vessels • Rebuilding shafts and blades used in the chemical, construction and mining industries Welding Current AC - DC (Electrode positive, Reverse Polarity) Typical Wire Chemistry *Proprietary* Typical Mechanical Properties (As Welded) Yield Strength, ksi 94 Tensile Strength, ksi 132 Tensile Strength as work hardened, ksi 186 Elongation%, min 36 Welding PositionsF,V,OH,H Available Diameters and suggested Operating Range in Amps 1/16" 25 - 35 5/64" 30 - 55 3/32" 35 - 70 1/8" 60 - 110 5/32" 75 - 140 3/16" 130 - 200
