Application
This electrode is used to join duplex stainless steel base metals containing approximately 22% chromium. This alloy is in one of the family of duplex stainless steel alloys. This alloy has good resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Following the chemical composition designation comes the letter “T” which signifies that the product is a flux cored electrode or rod. Following the “T” is a “1” or “0” indicating the recommended position of welding. The “1” or “0” following the “T” designates the following: “0” – designed to weld in the flat or horizontal position, “1” – designed to weld in all position. Following the position indicator and a dash, are the numerals “1”, “3”, “4”, “5”, or the letter “G”. The numerals “1”, “4”, and “5” identify the shielding gas required for classification of the electrode. The number “3” signifies that an external shielding gas is not employed. The letter “G” signifies that the shielding medium, chemical composition and mechanical properties are not specified.

For best results, set the wire feed speed and adjust the voltage for smoothest operation. Electrode extension range is from 1/2” to 1,” with an optimum range of 5/8” to 3/4.” Weld using reverse polarity DC(+).

Shielding Gas
75% argon / 25% CO2 (or nearest equivalent) shielding gas; however, straight CO2 may also be used. The 75/25 mixture will produce a smoother arc with virtually no spatter and slightly higher yield and tensile strengths than CO 2. The mechanical properties and deposit analyses will meet AWS A5.22 specifications with either gas.
