Stainless Steel Welding Electrode E BK 310LMo-15

310 LMo -15 is a chromium-nickel-molybdenum-covered electrode with a basic coating for welding austenitic stainless steels. It is also used for surfacing on low alloyed steels. The electrode combines good welding properties such as arc stability, low spatter and self peeling slag with very low impurity levels. Together with a high manganese content, this fully austenitic weld metal is very resistant to hot cracking. 

Applications

Joining of dissimilar steels. Welding of plated steels. For saltwater and pit type corrosive applications. Welding of CrNiMo stainless steels. Chemical, petrochemical, and food industry applications. Underlayer for stainless steel coatings. Do not use on applications that are continuously submitted to temperatures between 600 and 900°C.???

Designed with low carbon levels to help eliminate carbide precipitation in high temperature service

Instruction:

Weld with low heat input.

Electrode to be held perpendicular to the workpiece.

Preheating is necessary when joining high carbon steel ( 150 -250°C). 

Interpass temperature 150ºC (300ºF) keep a short arc: Allow the welded area to cool down slowly.

For welding stainless steel, the coating must not be damaged and it is recommended to return over the starting point of the bead.
