IDENTIFICATION
Gemet 209 FGS

DESCRIPTION
Austenitic–Ferritic special electrode depositing weld metal having controlled grain structure. Specially developed electrode satisfying the most exacting requirements. It is extremely crack resistant when joining steels, tool steels as well as dissimilar metal joints. Superb weld ability for all steels.
ALLOY BASIS : Cr, Ni

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES (RANGE)

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Repair and maintenance of machine and drive components shafts, gears, housings, construction machinery, high tensile steels, heat treatable and tool steel, hot trim plates, suitable as an elastic cushioning layer before hard surfacing.
WELDING INSTRUCTION
