WELDING ELECTRODE OK OK 68.82 3.2x350mm 1/2 VP

OK 68.82 is a stainless 29Cr9Ni alloy welding electrode. The weld metal is austenitic-ferritic steel with a ferrite content of approximately 40%. The weld metal is relatively insensitive to the alloying effects of various base materials and is excellently suited for welding various difficult-to-weld steels. OK 68.82 is a "general-purpose electrode for difficult welding applications." It can also be used for depositing a tough buffer layer before hardfacing. The weld metal is partially strain-hardenable, meaning it hardens under impact. Thanks to the high chromium content, the coefficient of friction of the weld metal is low and its resistance to fretting is good up to 1150 °C. OK 68.82 core wire is a highly alloyed stainless steel, giving it excellent welding properties. This product description is an automated translation of the original Finnish description.
