Low Heat Series

ARF RB


  • Applictions :
    Wherever maximum ductility is required when joining dissimilar steels to themselves or to stainless steels, manganese steels... also excellent as a cushion layer in tool steel hardfacing applications where high hardness picks up is not desired in the final overlays.

  • Microstructure :
    Austenite with a ferrite of approx 15%.

  • Typical
    Mechanical
    Properties :
    Undiluted Weld Metal Maximum Value Up to:
    Tensile Strength 100,000 psi
    Yield Strength 76,000 psi
    Elongation 3 0-40%
    Impact Energy 50J:68° F (20° C)
    Recommended current DC Reverse (+) or AC

  • Recommended Amperage Settings :
    Diameter (mm) 2.50 3.15 4.00
    Minimum Amperage 55 75 90
    Maximum Amperage 75 110 140

  • Welding Positions :
    Flat, Horizontal, Vertical up, Overhead

  • Welding Techniques:
    Material to be welded should be clean of all contaminants, Maintain a short arc and use stringer beads rather than a weaves technique.
