3000 is the perfect choice when joining
dissimilar metals. This alloy can be used for
the repair and joining of all ferrous steels
including high-alloy, stainless and tool steels.
It can be used in all positions to produce
smooth, porosity free welds without undercut
or splatter. Special ferrite balanced chemistry
also serves as a ‘STUD PULLING’ electrode.

Typical Applications
• Dissimilar metals
• Repair of tools, dies, springs, carbon steels
and pressure vessels
• Rebuilding shafts and blades used in the
chemical, construction and mining industries
