A continuous solid Ni-Cr-Mo electrode for welding of high alloyed Ni-base materials, 9 %Ni steel and super austenic steels of type 20Cr-25Ni with 4-6 % Mo. Can also be used for welding carbon steel to Ni base steel. The weld metal has a very good toughness and is corrosion resistant over a wide range of applications in oxidizing and reducing media.
