FERROGOLD 303

Ferrite balanced, super strength, non-crackingalloy, for maintenance & repair of all steels

SUPER HIGH STRENGTH YET NON-CRACKING MAINTENANCE WELDS FOR INCREASED SAFETY: Ultra high tensile strength, yield strength & holding power - e.g, a fillet weld of 4 passes of Ferrogold 303 is generally equivalent in strength to a fillet weld of 16 passes of a mild steel electrode. Excellent work hardening qualities. Does not require embrittling heat treatment to obtain its ultra high tensile strength.

SPECIAL “IONISED ARC TRANSFER” DRASTICALLY REDUCES SPATTER & ELECTRODE OVERHEATING: Easily usable even on the smallest AC machines. Lesser distortion, less warpage & less stress.

SUPERB CRACK RESISTANCE: Unmatched fine grained micro structure. Excellent ferrite-austenite balance with perfectly distributed ferrite throughout the weld deposit. Ferrite rich structure is highly resistant to fissures, cracking, hot cracking & under bead cracking. ....practically any type of cracking under practically all conceivable conditions. X-ray quality welds of outstanding quality even on dissimilar steels & composite steel structures.

Exceptionally high elongation enables the weld to stretch & absorb weld contraction without either the weld or the base cracking. Restricted trace elements. Highly controlled penetration for minimum harmful dilution & harmful carbon or contamination pick - up. Virtually insensitive to arc length.

ALL WEATHER: Can be uniquely water quenched (or rapidly weather quenched when welding in cold climates) with no adverse effect on its physical properties.

EXCELLENT IMPACT RESISTANCE: Resists impact equal to or better even than steels specially designed for impact resistance (manganese, Ni - Mn, Mo -Mn......)

EXCELLENT ALL-POSITION WELDABILITY IN BOTH AC & DC: Unusually fine drop type “ionised- arc” transfer even on alternating current, reduces spatter & prevents overheating. Insensitive arc gap - can be varied from contact to medium long without loss of arc stability.

SPECIAL SLAG FORMULATION ELIMINATES SLAG INTERFERANCE IN HORIZONTAL FILLETS: Virtually self-releasing slag. Eliminates the possibility of slag entrapment & makes electrode excellent even for multi - pass weldments. Does not under cut, overlap or fill- up. Smooth, regular well formed beads, uniform in cross section. Reduces need for pre- heating on “problem steel”, welding.

Joining – Steels : Ultimate Strength & Crack Resistance - Dissimilar Joining.

A TOUGH: Superb resistance to heat, corrosion & shock. Possesses very high elongation & good machineability. Excellent fatigue resistance for long lasting repairs. Super high notch toughness.

VIRTUALLY INSENSITIVE TO SURFACE CONTAMINANTS: Enables secure welding even over painted, rusted, oily, dirty & wet surfaces, making it a unique tool for successful emergency repair work, especially “on - site” & at odd hours when time inadequacy & where the damage situation does not allow proper surface cleaning......

Ideal for repair of spring plates, drill bits, moulds, dies, chains, crane booms, shafts, tools, armour plates..

ARutile coated, core wire alloyed suited to

dissimilar and difficult to weld steels

Description:

Unique features

Rutile-basic electrode with austenitic-ferritic stainless steel deposit.

Excellent work hardening & crack resistance even in multi-pass overlays.

Self lifting slag.

Ultra low heat input.

Soft fusion with minimal spattering

Available even in 1.6 mm dia.

Key repair applications

Crack repair/ Cushion/ buffer layers before hardfacing on tool steels (dies, molds…) & other highly alloyed/hardened steels.

Excellent corrosion & temperature resistance.

FERROSTEEL PLUS

Adapted for welding dissimilar steels (high alloyed with low alloyed steels), difficult to weld steels (tool steels, Mn steels, spring steels...) & unknown steels.

Superior microstructure with excellent soft fusion, nice aspect of the bead & self releasing slag for crack proof build-up & cushioning prior to hardfacing.

Electrode for high strength joint welding and surfacing at similar and equal steels or casted steels, for joint welding at high tensile unalloyed steels, tempered and tool steels, high manganese steels, spring steels and joints between dissimilar steels with high alloyed stainless steels. Furthermore for crack proof tough inter-passes on hard surfacing and for abrasion resistant and warm hardened surfacing. The austenitic – ferritic weld metal is stainless & corrosion resistant. Due to enhanced delta –ferrite content, black – white joints are highly resistant against hot-cracking.
