Low Temp Welding Rod Stainless Steel

In this video a 1 8 inch gap is filled using super alloy 1 rod and flux and a propane torch.

Low temp welding rod stainless steel.

Weld aluminum with any low temperature torch even a propane torch. Solid wire electrode stainless steel is susceptible to heat distortion when placed under very hot temperatures. Ferritic stainless usually comes in thicknesses of in. No fluxes or fumes low working temperature.

To stick weld stainless steel make sure to set amperage low enough so that you get a smooth arc from start to finish. Or less so most welding with this material is done in a single pass. Free shipping in stock. Galvanized steel is ideal for marine and industrial applications due to its salt and water repellant properties.

Typically a 309 or 312 stick electrode is being used. Forney 48571 super sil flo brazing rod 1 8 inch 1 2 pound. For high temperature applications such as in the electrical power industry the high carbon 308h electrode provides better creep resistance than does 308l. 50 pieces aluminum welding rods 0 08 x 8 inch universal low temperature welding cored wire brazing rod tube for electric power drill tap polish and paint 43.

Since stainless steel has low heat conductivity using a welding application that features a shielding gas is perfect for the task. An e308 type stainless steel electrode must have a maximum of 0 08 by weight of carbon c. An e308h electrode however must have at least 0 04 c up to a maximum of 0 08 c. In smaw welding there is no shielding gas required but a welding rod that is compatible with stainless steel.

308l including er308lsi is predominately used on austenitic stainless steels such as types 301 302 304 305 and cast alloys cf 8 and cf 3. Blue demon er308l stainless steel tig welding rod 156. Carbon content in the range of 0 04 0 08 provides higher tensile and creep strengths at elevated temperatures. You ll also get a stronger weld than the parent aluminum material without flux or other welding material.

Super alloy 1 has melting point of 350 f which allows for a low temperature repair without damaging the existing zinc coating. This is good because welding ferritic stainless steel is most successful with low heat input and maximum interpass temperature is 300 degrees f. The two most common grades used in this application are 409 and 439. Sanrico low temp welding rod.

Brush the base with stainless steel brush till shiny.
