ELGALOY MIX 18B is an all positional basic-coated electrode which deposits a 19% Cr / 9% Ni / 6% Mn fully austenitic stainless steel weld metal with
excellent toughness and crack resistance. It is intended for joining hardenable
steels, armour plate, 13% Mn steels and difficult-to-weld steels, without the
need for preheat. It is also recommended for dissimilar joints between
stainless and mild or medium carbon steels. Welds produced with ELGALOY MIX 18B can be PWHT without risk of sigma-phase formation and consequent
loss of ductility. The deposit work hardens from 200 HV to 450HV.
