SuperBlue Covered Electrode
Nominal Chemical
Composition
INTRODUCTION
Aufhauser SuperBlue covered electrode is a versatile, multi-purpose electrode, suitable for welding wrought and cast alloys such as high carbon, tool steels, stainless steels, spring steels, manganese steels and dissimilar steels. This alloy gives a two-phase weld deposit with substantial amounts of ferrite in an austenitic matrix. This alloy has excellent impact and frictional resistance with high heat resistance and mild abrasive resistance.
APPLICATIONS
- Wrought and cast alloys
- Problem steels such as high carbon, tool, stainless, spring, manganese steels
- Dissimilar steels
