welding in all spatial positions, except vertical down one
welding is recommended to be performed at the highest possible speed without transverse oscillations of the electrode
Special properties
good welding and technological properties, low spatter, easy slag removal, stable arc burning and excellent seam quality
when welding dissimilar steels, high crack resistance is provided and high resistance to intergranular corrosion is noted when working at a temperature of up to 300°C (572°F). As well as when welding heat-resistant stainless steels, high resistance to scale formation is provided in the operating temperature range up to 900°C (1652°F)
Monolith M-309L-16 electrodes are designed for dissimilar welding of austenitic and carbon steels, austenitic stainless steels of such grades as AISI 304, AISI 304L, etc., in the operating temperature range not exceeding 300°C (572°F), as well as for welding of heat-resistant stainless steels such as AISI 309, AISI 309S, etc. They are used for depositing intermediate layers on heat-resistant CrMo pearlitic steels and for cladding of ferriticpearlitic, low and medium alloyed substrates as well as for applying buffer layers prior to overlaying. These electrodes are suitable for welding of tanks, containers used for storing a wide variety of liquids and dry substances, industrial equipment in the mining, chemical, cryogenic, food, dairy and pharmaceutical industries.
Electrodes MONOLITH RC are differed from similar products of other manufacturers by a value and intensity of welding aerosol evolution and manganese formation during the welding process. This was achieved by selecting the high-quality raw materials and high-level control of technological processes in electrodes manufacture. The E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NAS Ukraine and Institution of Medicine Labour of the AMS Ukraine confirmed that manganese precipitation was reduced for more than 30%, the evolution of harmful elements in welding aerosol was reduced for more than 28%.
Electrodes MONOLITH RC are characterized by an easy primary and secondary arc exciting, soft and stable arc burning, provide low spatter loss, uniform melting of the coating, excellent weld metal formation, easy slag crust removal.
Electrodes allow welding at the lowest currents. For the small-diameter electrodes, the welding can be performed from power sources, connected to conventional mains.
Easy use of electrodes gives an opportunity to perform welding by a beginning welder.
Welding in hard-to-reach places. Feasibility of electrode bending without the coating damage.
It is possible to perform welding on oxidized, greased and painted surfaces.
