Stainless Steel Welding Electrodes
234 - Isoarc 234
Characteristics
Isoarc 234 is a rutile flux coated electrode which deposits a 25%Cr, 9%Ni, 12%N duplex stainless steel weld metal having a ferrite content of about FN30.
Applications
Isoarc 234 is designed for welding similar composition duplex stainless steels which offer an excellent combination of high strength and very good resistance to stress corrosion cracking in the presence of nitric acid
Procedures
Avoid excessive amperage, and use AC or DC straight polarity. When welding ASTM S43304 austenitic welding procedures should be used. Allow the material to cool to below 150°C between passes. To ensure good penetration of the weld tack with a wider than normal gap.
Redrying
Should electrodes become moist rebake at 300°C for 1 hour.

E308L-16
Characteristics
ISOARC 308L permits welding at the lowest possible amperage in flat, vertical, horizontal or
overhead positions Deposition is fast and smooth with low spatter and good slag detach-ability.
Applications
Use for joining or cladding of 18-8 chrome nickel stainless steel requiring similar deposit
as the base metal. Ideal for steel types 301, 302, 304, 305, 308, 321, 347.
Procedures
To avoid heat accumulation, keep a short arc and use low amperage with stringer bead technique.
Remove the slag after each pass. On DC equipment use positive polarity. On long seams, tack at
short intervals to reduce distortion
Redrying
Should electrodes become moist re-dry at 350°C for 1 hour

E309L Mo 16 - 309 MOL
Characteristics
ISOARC 309 MOL features low-spatter loss and excellent slag removal. The work surface is smooth and finish free of undercut. The electrode is free from porosity.
Applications
This is a molybdenum-alloyed electrode of the 309LMo type, which is primarily designed for joining or cladding Stainless Steels of similar and dissimilar compositions. Also for joining and cladding non-alloy or low-alloy steel to obtain corrosion or heat resistance. Use on steel types 304-308L, 3Cr12, 309L, 321, 347, 316L, 318.When used for surfacing, the composition obtained is more or less equal to that of astm 316 from the very first run.
Procedures
To avoid heat accumulation, use low amperage with stringer bead technique. Hold a short arc and remove slag after each pass. On DC equipment use positive polarity.

E312-16 - Isoarc 168
Characteristics
This highly versatile electrode is extensively used by the maintenance repair man. The high-alloy content, strength and elongation capabilities allow it to solve various problem steel joining applications. The specially formulated coating permits smooth, porosity free, dense deposits free from spatter. Undercutting is eliminated due to ease of welding and control of the arc. Deposit will take high polish.
Applications
ISOARC 168 is used extensively on repairs to shafts, pinions, springs, tools and dies, gear-teeth, machine parts, earthmoving equipment, agitator blades, pressure vessels and all welds requiring high stress loading capabilities.
Procedures
To avoid the accumulation of heat, use low amperage with stringer bead technique and a short arc. Intermittent welding can be used especially on high alloy steels. On tool steels, preheat to approximately 200 degrees. Light peening of welds will increase the tensile strength.
Redrying
