• Corrosion resistant
• Cadmium-free
• Joint Strength: Up to 60,000 PSI/414 Mpa
• Elongation: 32%
• Working Temperature: 1370°F/743°C
• Electrical Conductivity: 19% IACS
• Corrosion Resistance: Good
• Coating: Blue
PROCEDURES Clean the weld area. Remove all rust, paint, grease, oil and other foreign matter. Maintain joint clearance of 0.003” to 0.005”. Prefluxing is not required; however, additional flux will help in tight joints and may be needed. Heat the weld area to a dull red color using a slightly carburizing flame. Melt off a small amount of alloy and flux. Keep the torch in motion and flow the deposit through the joint. Allow to cool slowly. Remove flux residue with warm water.
