IDENTIFICATION
GM 307Si

CLASSIFICATION
EN 14343 (EN 12072, G 18 8 Mn)

DESCRIPTION
The wire gives a strong, ductile and tough austenitic deposit, which works-hardens from about 200HV to 450HV. Also compatible with cast iron in some applications. The addition of about 6% Mn gives good crack resistance in difficult highly restrained joints.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Joining, repair and build up of 13% Mn (Hadfield) steel castings combinations of mild, hardenable or stainless steels with little or no preheat.
• Used for mixed welding where deposits have to be heat treated and for surfacing and buttering. The most versatile and economic solid wires for dissimilar welds.
• For joining dissimilar materials such as stainless steel, grade 304 with ferritic stainless steel, grade 409 etc.
