ACID RESISTANT STAINLESS STEEL ELECTRODES

IDENTIFICATION
Gemet 203

DESCRIPTION
•    A medium heavy coated rutile type Molybdenum bearing stainless steel electrode depositing weld metal which has very high resistance to hot cracking, chemical corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. Molybdenum imparts resistance to corrosion of reducing nature. The deposited weld metal is of radiographic quality.
ALLOY BASIS : Cr, Ni, Mo

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES (RANGE)

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
