HE-17 Chrome:

HE-17 CHROME is a heavy coated rutile type electrode depositing 17 Cr. weld metal. A smooth and soft arc which is easy to strike and restrike. Regular and finely rippled weld beads. The weld metal displays good resistance to corrosion and heat.

Identification:Name Printed

Applications:For overlays on cast steels or on plain chromium steels in turbines, steam valves, pumps etc.

Notes on usage:

When welding using HE-17 CHROME suitable precautions like preheating, postweld heat treatment, slow cooling become necessary and these are dependent on the base material composition, its section thickness and the code of construction.
Redry the electrode at 250°C for one hour before use. Use short arc and clean the area throughly before welding.
