DETAILS
Electrode for high strength joining of low carbon, medium carbon and low alloy steels.
Features/Characteristics
All position low heat input electrodes with high ductility, excellence crack resistance.
SME A28B Welding Rod Uses/Applications
Joining stainless steel to low alloy steels, carbon steels, surfacing on mild steel to improve wear resistance. Used for cladding purposes on carbon steel. Also used for the rapport of buckets, boom C frames and undercarriage components of earthmoving equipment.
Welding Technique/Procedure
Clean the area to be welded. For heavy thickness prepare a 90° U groove. Fit up should be accurate for long joints. Weld at regular intervals and use jigs & fixtures to avoid distortion. Use DC+ on DC power source for good ripple and finish. Stringer bead technique with the shortest possible arc length is recommended. When welding manganese steel do not allow the job temperature to exceed 150°C.
