E310-16 Stainless Steel Electrode
EDEN E310-16 electrodes were developed for the welding of type 310 stainless steel; weld deposit will exhibit the same chemical analysis and oxidation resistance as the base plate metal. E310-16 is considered a general-purpose electrode for welding almost every analysis of carbon and alloy steel. Preheating to 300 to 500F produces strong crack-free welds in dissimilar steels.
Rutile type stainless steel electrode for welding heat resisting chromium and chromium-nickel steels as well as cast steels. Weld metal deposit is fully austenitic stainless steel, containing 25% chromium and 20% nickel. Suitable for welding heat treatment and industrial furnaces and equipment which are subjected to service temperatures up to 1200°C. Weld metal is non-scaling up to 1250°C. Especially it is resistant to hot crack. Exhibits high charpy impact energy at low temperatures. Weld metal is not corrosion resistant to sulphureous combustion gases. Possible to use equally well both with AC and DC.
EDEN E310 is considered a general-purpose electrode used mainly for welding AISI 310 stainless steel but also for straight chromium stainless as well as almost any analysis of carbon and alloy steel. The weld deposit of this electrode will have an austenitic structure with a chemical analysis and oxidation resistance similar to that of the base plate. 310 provides easy slag removability and a flat regular bead with fine appearance. More common applications include 25% Cr -20% Ni stainless steel, Cr-Mo stainless steel to mild steel, and the clad side of 18% Cr -8% Ni stainless clad steel. USA 310 can be used in all positions.
DESCRIPTION:
A rutile coated manual metal arc electrode for the welding of 310 austenitic stainless steel. EDEN 310 deposits 25%Cr-20% Ni weld metal which offers high temperature ductility and excellent resistance to oxidation at working temperatures of up to 1200ºC. EDEN 310 produces a smooth, even metal transfer with low spatter and a self releasing slag. The finished welds exhibit a slightly concave shape with good cosmetic appearance which requires little or no post weld dressing. The electrode is ideal for both fillet and butt welding applications. The smaller diameter electrodes can be used for vertical up and overhead welding.
Suitable for use with AC (minimum OCV of 70V) and DC+.
NOTES ON USAGE:
Prepare and fit the work carefully, cleaning the joints of all foreign material. Use AC (minimum OCV of 70V) or DC+ current. Proceed with the lowest current possible and short arc without allowing coating to touch molten pool. Short and intermittent welding is to be preferred to avoid overheating and distortion. Avoid excessive weaving. Electrodes should be coated.
Discard exposed core wire by striking or scratch welding on a scrap plate until exposed core wire is consumed. Use dry electrodes to prevent blow hole in deposit. If necessary re-dry at 300ºC for 2 hours before use.
