E312-16
E312-16 stainless steel electrode is designed for welding dissimilar joints of hardenable steels, steel armor and generally all hard-to-weld steels. Its directional arc and self-detaching slag allows you to weld with ease. The weld deposits exhibit high tensile strength and offer good resistance to abrasion.
