CHARACTERISTICS & APPLICATIONS
íshín-410R has 12 Cr as nominal composition (wt. %) of weld and is an air-hardening steel. Preheat and post heat treatments are required to achieve welds of adequate ductility for many engineering purposes. The most common application of these electrodes is for welding alloys of similar compositions. They are also used for surfacing of carbon steels to resist corrosion, erosion, or abrasion.
The covering for these electrodes generally contains readily ionizing elements to stabilize the arc for welding with alternating current. Electrode sizes 4.0 mm and smaller may be used in all positions of welding.
Storage and Drying Conditions: Hydrogen can have adverse effects on welds in some steels under certain conditions. One source of this hydrogen is moisture in the electrode coverings. For this reason, the proper storage, treatment, and handling of electrodes are necessary.
Holding Ovens: 125°C–150°C.
Drying Conditions: 250°C–425°C for 1 hour prior to use.
