All – position, contact type low heat input electrode, Suited for Dies, tools, springs, cushion layer, Joining dissimilar & unknown steel & stainless-steel combinations. Machinable build-up and overlay. Can be used to repair steel dies on the line without preheating. It works wonders on oily, greasy & contaminated surfaces without any defect.

Frigid arc coating plus high-alloy core generates highly ionized arc. Outstanding strength & weldability. Excel Bond 068 produces high quality grain structure of similar & dissimilar steels and joining steels of different thickness. Excel Bond 066 can be used as buffer layer to make the repair economical & reliable.

Use AC or DC reverse polarity. Clean welding area. Bevel heavy sections. Tilt electrode 10-15° in direction of travel. The burn-off rate is rapid & uniform permitting rapid advance with no “sticking” or “drifting”. Restrict weaving to 2-3X electrode diameter. Peen to relieve stresses. Slag releases easily.

1. Current: AC/DC +                    2. Tensile strength: 1, 20,000 psi
