CROMAROD® 82 is a basic flux coated nickel-base electrode intended for welding Inconel 600 and similar composition alloys. The deposit tolerates high dilution levels and is very resistant to hot cracking. It is not susceptible to sigma phase embrittlement or carbon migration and is therefore ideal for service at elevated temperatures. CROMAROD® 82 is highly suitable for a wide range of dissimilar joint combinations between nickel-base alloys, Monels, mild and low alloy steels and austenitic stainless steels. It can also be used to clad carbon steels with an Inconel type surface. The weld metal exhibits very good fracture toughness at temperatures down to -196 °C and is suitable for welding 5% and 9% nickel steels for cryogenic applications.
