Usually in the TIG welding of stainless steel piping extensive purging is required before welding, and backing gas during welding, to avoid heat tint brought about by oxidisation.
The new seamless flux cored TIG rod range from Welding Alloys - WARod, allows root pass welding without the use of purging gas. This means it is possible to eliminate gas purging downtime and saves the costs of expensive purging gases before and during welding.
This new product is available in 3 grades: WARod 308L, WARod 316L and WARod 309L. Please see product details below.
Other weld metal analysis may be produced on request. Please contact us for further details.
