Rutile coated high performance electrode with 170 % output for welding of different types of steels and for build-up welding; weld metal of ferritic-austenitic chrome-nickel steel; scale resistant up to +1000°C.

DIN 8556: E 29 9 MPR 26 170, material number: corresponds to 1.4337, AWS/ASME SFA-5.4: similar to ER 312 - 16, NF A 81 -343: EZ 29.9 R 170 36 X.

Most important applications
Corrosion-resistant steel of similar type and cast steel, e.g. 1.4762 (X 10 CrAl 24)- 1.4085 (G-X 70 Cr 29): steel that is difficult to weld, e.g. construction steel of higher strength, manganese hard steel and joints with high-alloy steel; repairs and wear-resistant coatings.

Microstructure
ferristic austenitic

Special notes
The favourable coefficient of thermal expansion due to the high content of delta ferrite in the weld metal reduces the residual stresses in black-white joints and increases the safety against hot cracks. In the work-hardened condition, the weld metal is particularly resistant to wear. MMA can be welded on top, very easy ignition and re-ignition; high current-carrying capacity; high deposition rate, particularly suitable for large-area, wear-resistant build-up welds; self-dissolving slag, fine-flake smooth seam appearance.

Re-drying
Generally not necessary. However, the cladding tolerates re-drying up to +350°C.
