GeKa 312 - 2.5mm 312 Stainless Steel Welding Rods
AWS A5.4 E312-17
A European rod manufacturer, 312 is a grade specifically designed for joining difficult to weld high carbon steel and dissimilar metal combinations when there is no exact specification of the base metals.
Really intended for high carbon steel, cast and or wrought which are all known as difficult to weld steels or problem steels. The 'duplex' micro structure can tolerate high dilution with such steels while still maintaining its strength, ductility and resistance to cracking.
For best results when using this rod try to keep the arc length as short as possible and keep the weave tight. Put simply keep the bead width within 2.5 times of diameter of the core wire.
If the rods become damp they can be dried at 120 degrees C for 30 minutes.
These 2.5mm rods have an ideal working range of 55-85 amps and will run on AC or DCEP.
1kg will be supplied in 2 500g packs.
